I left my '59 plate mini one clubman for 2 weeks this summer. It was due a service and wasn't running entirely smoothly before I left - last year mini had to replace the ?fuel injection as it was malfunctioning - it was running smoothly again for the whole year, but in the week or so before I went away it had started to have a problem with smooth running in 2nd gear (a bit like before). Booked to go into garage the week we came back, but wouldn't start to get there. I came home from hols and it wouldn't start or turn over the engine at all and the steering wheel was immobilised. The key was turning on the radio and some of the dashboard, but not all the dashboard. Absolutely no response from the engine The garage came round and thought maybe low battery, so changed that, then changed it back. Immobilised and local garage not able to tow. Local mini services says they will look if I get it to them. Everyone flummoxed as to the cause of the problem....anyone any ideas? (unfortunately I have lost 2nd key, so only one fob) At the moment am sitting with an immobilised car in front of our house, with no one local able to help.....anyone had a similar problem
