I phoned MINI assist who said because the light was on amber it was ok to drive her but I have to phone the service dept Monday & book her in......does anyone have any ideas what this could mean. She is still under warranty so I am not to worried, I am just concerned it could be something serious!!Thanks guys Chris x 100% BMW & Worth Every Penny! | ||

Sounds like your ECU has put itself into safe mode to prevent dmage to the engine. If MINI assist said its ok to drive then i'm sure it will be fine | ||
