Hi Everyone
I dont know if anyone might be able to help me or give me any suggestions on what to do?
I have a mini one 2011 (05 plate). Last year i starting having problems with the key fob, it wouldnt let me open and close the car by fob so im having to use it manually, which i need to solve the problem if i sell the car in the future.
I rang the local mini garage and all they could suggest was that i buy a new key for £150.00 which is a ridiculous price to pay for just a key.
So i rang other garages and luckily enough the garage i go to for Services,MOT etc said they could re-code the key for only £30.00 which is better than £150.00.
So the key was fine and working until earlier this month then the problem occured again.
so i dont know if the problem is due to electrical faults with the car or the key as the key just cant keep the code as im having to have it re-coded.
Can anyone suggest anything please
Thanks (MiniOne2011)
