It’s been in the shop way to long!
by Mark V. on Dec.20, 2008, under MINI
After those latest mods, I was coming home from the Club Christmas Party and the dsc and ebrake lights came on and would not go off. I searched NAM for other owners having this issue and it seems the Steering Angle Sensor was the cause. Well long story short, my MINI has been in the shop since the 9th of December and they have replace 2 modules and uploaded new software to the control unit with no luck fixing the problem. I just want my MINI back and fixed.

Welcome...
This blog is about me and my MINI called TWISTER. My first MINI was a '04 that I had for 3 years. I did plenty of mods to him and loved every minute. I now own a '08 R56 with all the options I really wanted. I've only had him since April 17, 2008 and have already completed most of the mods I want to do.
Please stop by here often to see what I've done and to learn what I learn about the new R56.
