Hi people, I bought my wife a used MINI One (89k, '03) on Friday 2nd November.
Yesterday, the engine warning light came on. I didn't get chance to check it out, she told me:
The light came on before refuelling.
It stayed on after fuelling, the car felt like it would stall at any moment.
She didn't use it today, I returned from work to test it and I will be buying a code reader tomorrow.
On driving, the car is low on power, with weak acceleration. I suspect it is in Limp Home Mode.
The light has remained on.
The power delivery seemed to be erratic and I felt as if the car could cut out at any time. I coasted back into the estate and it juddered on idle. I booted the revs up to park it on my drive. The idle continued to splutter, but then it settled and ran smooth.
Any early speculation is welcome. I will keep people posted RE fault codes.
