How do you fix Error code CCID 031 on a 2009 mini cooper
This is most commonly caused by a bad gas cap on Your car. I recommend first trying to open and close the gas cap and see if it goes away. If that does not solve it then You may need to purchase a new one to get it working properly again.
Why does the yellow engine light come on and go off with times? I am driving a Mini Cooper S, 2010 Model
To be sure you need to hook up a scanner and read the code when you see the light on. It's not unusual for Mini's to do this for a couple of usual reasons. One is due to the Oxygen sensor getting a short term reading that is out of the norm causing the light to come on. Various things can cause this including Injectors, mechanical condition, o-rings, even fuel changes from one station to another can trigger this on cars. It goes off later because it's a temporary issue and the car adjusts itself after so many starts. One other reason is the fuel cap not being tightened properly, that usually is fixed when you refuel and retighten the cap properly or just tighten the cap.
How to remove a door window on a 1985 austin rover 1000 mini
Window glass removal is not complicated but it usually costs you the skin off your knuckles. You will need a helper for this. I would suggest you buy some new 'push in' clips for the door panel, on a car of that age you will break some of them.
Try this method. Wind the window up to the half way point. Remove the door pull handle, the door release lever, the window winding handle and the locking lever trim cover. Remove the inside and outside trim strips that the glass sits between, (The bit you rest your elbow on when the window is open), as this make getting the glass out easier. Then remove the door card. You might need to use a Plastic trim tool for this to avoid breaking the 'push in' clips as you lever up around the edge of the panel. There should be a layer of plastic between the panel and the door which is a water proof layer protecting the trim panel. Remove it.
There will be a large unpainted part bolted in the middle of the door that the window winder sticks out from.
From this point get your helper to hold onto the glass. Undo the 4 retaining screws. Swing the front edge of this winder mechanism out towards you and slide it forwards to release the hook at the rear end of it. The winder mechanism is stuck in place with a waterproof sealant so you might need to Gently lever it to get it free. At this point you will need to 'wriggle' the whole mechanism forward and backwards to release it from the runner rails and out of the door. Once the mechanism is out, rotate the actual glass downwards towards the front of the car and the glass should slide up and out.
To refit the glass repeat this process in reverse.

Mini Cooper 2007 safety lights blink continuously even with engine off. Cannot turn them off. They drained the battery
It sounds like the alarm system is on or that you have a relay that is stuck.
1. Press the Unlock on the remote key fob to make sure the alarm system is turned off. Sometimes when the battery has gone dead, it doesn't reset properly, just try again with the battery charged and installed.
2. If that doesn't work, you may have a relay that is stuck in the ON position. You have a fuse/relay chart both in the passenger compartment and engine compartment and can pull the specific fuses/relay for the emergency flashers to verify if that it is the problem. There should be a chart indicating the location of that specific relay and the fuse.
