Hi,
I was driving in my MCS earlier today and on the way home i could hear a high pitched whine coming from the stereo - it normally makes a faint noise but it was much more apparrant....anyway i continue on my journey home and it goes away.
I go to join the slip road on the duals and then suddenly i completely lose all electrical power - the lights go out - the steering fails, the lot! I cant even put my hazzards on....however the engine is still working....i go to restart the engine but obviously i get nothing - it appears to be a flat battery i think....
i step out of the car to call MINI emergency - and after 5 mins on the phone i notice my hazzard lights turn themselves on - i then go to start the car and it works perfectly?!?! the only thing i notice is that the Engine warning light is on.
Any idea what could have caused this? I have had a stereo fitted to the car about 1 month ago but thats all.
Would appreciate ANY feedback possible!
Cheers,
Chris
