Hello, I have a Mini Cooper S 07 plate.
On Friday I was driving home from work, put my foot down and the acceleration was lumpy. Minutes later the yellow engine warning light came on and there was a serious lack of power. I had to stop somewhere on my way home and on the second journey the light went out.
Yesterday morning on my journey to work the light came on again and has stayed on. I can get through the gears but I can barley touch the accelerator without it juddering.
I've taken it to a local Mini specialist who repaired the last fault on it so I'll let you know what happens.
I've had my Mini for little over 2 years now and I've had the following replaced.
- water pump
- a thermostat
- high pressure fuel pump
Am I unlucky or is this the norm? I know it's over 4 years old but surely modern cars shouldn't have this many failures.
