hi there hope someone can help me?

i have a mini one, she's a 51plate i've had her for 3 and a half years, so far she's had a new head gasket (went on the a1!) a new radiator, new clutch, some pipe things to do with the gear box, the hose from the power steering, new disks and she's gone through 8 tyres!

the problems i'm having with her now are with the gear box, when i first start her up she's very difficult to get into first and second gear it eases up after a couple of miles but she does this if it's cold and if it's warm, she'a always difficult to get into reverse. she's also very heavy on petrol she's only getting 23 miles to the gallon, i'm sure she was better than that when i first got her (she does 46 mile round trip 5 days a week on the A17 it's a single track road with a very steep hill) my brother mentioned remapping the engine but said i should go on a mini form to see if any one had any suggestions?

can anyone help? :unsure:

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      I'm am sorry if I am doing this incorrectly but I have searched and not found anything related to this but I am still learning all of this. Does anyone know about the yellow airbag/ seat belt connector under the driver’s seat? I am sure the previous owner has changed this but I am wondering if anyone has seen this before? If so, should I remove the butt connectors and solder the wires? Should the wires be twisted all the way to the yellow connector? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JayMe

      Connectors in the boot next to the battery

      Hi - I have a 2007 1.6L Petrol 1 series and it has wire connectors in the boot near the battery but I don't know what they are meant to connect to. Are they just spare or is there a part missing? The car currently not starting but we think it is a BCM fault but just wanted to know what the cables in the boot are meant for. Any help would be greatly appreciated be gratefully appreciated as we can't read the fault codes as we think the BCM is faulty and the car won't idle properly but there might be some other issue. Regards Andrew

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave
