On page 64 there is an article about a known fault concerning the Airbag warning light that BMW are not covering under warranty/goodwill. If this has/could affect you, then get this week's AE for more info and also visit the on-line petition at: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bmwminiukairbaglightpetition/signatures.html Image: http:// www.scnm.co.uk/ e107_plugins/ coppermine_menu/ albums/userpics/ normal_Phils% 20sig.jpg Another MK Photos Production | ||

You should only get it if you are moving your drivers seat lots. The Dealers just solder the wires together instead of having the yellow and blue plugs under the seats. If anyone needs a reset and is on a run the same time as me then let me know I can also tell you the full BMW error codes for the MINI. MINI Project 370hp and counting... : MINIProject.co.uk | ||
