I was able to fix this problem myself in about 3 hours using 2 videos posted on YouTube. I purchased a new spring on eBay for $12. The first video covers removing the interior console parts to access and remove the shifter. The video from the previous post covers opening up the shifter unit itself and replacing the spring. The process is tedious but can be done, just follow the videos and take your time.
Shiftlock solenoid selector lever wrongly not locked in P
I am wondering if anybody has any idea about this error message on My car ( European F56 MINI Cooper 2-door hardtop built on 07/15/2015 with the B38 engine).
Currently, every time I put the car in P and switch the car off and open my door, I get a warning message Secure vehicle against rolling. I chick the car with a diagnostic tool, which won't clear the error.
The error says "Shiftlock solenoid selector lever wrongly not locked in P intermittent ” code 420106.
One of the forum members had the same problem and I asked him but I could not get any answer from him but he said the company told him he should go for a new control unit at £958+VAT to replace it.*( what does he mean by new control unit )?
