Strange going ons

Hi there, I'm hoping someone out there can help.

After driving the car last night, I went to shut the drivers door, but it just bounced off as the window had not dropped.

I then tried to start the car, and nothing....completely dead.

Slightly baffled, but I left the car for a few minutes and tried starting it again. This time is worked, but it started making some funny whining noise, and the time has reset itself along with the other settings on the onboard computer.

Everything seems fine now. I have called my local Mini garage but they do not seem concerned as the car will now start. It was also in with them only last week for other problems, and they say everything was checked and no problems could be found.

Has anyone experienced problems like this and should I be concerned?

Thanks :-)

Check that the battery connections are tight, also depends what work they did to it last time you had it booked in but if your worried then take it back, you dont want it happening if your away somewhere.

Old fault codes in the system can cause cars to play up, i work for ford and if you jump start a car it puts in about 50 fault codes in the PCM and all it needs is them deleting.
