Picked up my new Cooper on Monday... very very happy.
However, when I open the doors the internal lights don\'t seem to want to switch on automatically. Is this just my car are are all new Minis prone to being drowned in darkness?

Had the same in my MINI.
If you get in the car, press the central button that turns on the interior light and hold it pressed in for about 5 secs. The light will flash about 3 times. Release the button. The interior light should now work when you open the doors.
I think this is turned off to save battery drain and should be re-set by the dealer

Thanks.
At last, I will be able to get in the car without having to listen to my girlfriend moaning about the lack of light.
