Mini Cooper Transmission Relearn ProcedureIf the gear selection display on your Mini Cooper has an x before the gear selected, like xP or xD or xR, then you need to run this procedure.The usual cause of this is a dead or disconnected battery for a long period of time. First make sure you have a good battery that will hold a charge or fix the charging system problem.Get the car someplace where you will be able to drive for a mile or two without interruption on a fairly level road.Follow ALL steps and don't skip anything.Clutch Adaptation1. Begin with a cold engine and start the car. Shift to N for 10 seconds, then shift to D for 10 seconds.Shift to P. Display says xP.2. Repeat the following ten times. Shift to N for 3 seconds, then shift to D for 3 seconds.Shift to P. Display says xP.3. Repeat the following ten times. Shift to N for 3 seconds, then shift to R for 3 seconds.Shift to P. Display says xP.Step-up Ratio Adaptation1. Accelerate vehicle to a speed greater than 80 km/h. Don't be afraid to go above the redline on the tach for a few seconds. At this point the car may buck and snort a little as it tries to get into a higher ratio. As soon as it settles into a higher gear and the revs are above 4500, rpm let off the accelerator quickly.

Bmw powersteering fault still no powersteering
Who fitted the pump?
If the pump was fitted wrong it may have air in the pipes, it might need bleeding through, alternatively the fault could be the power steering rack and not the pump.
Hope this helps,

Lights keep going dim on mini cooper s 2007 dashboard
You don't say if it's "just" the dash lights, or if other lights do it as well. Try turning on a dome light and see if the dome light does it along with the dash lights. Do you notice your headlights doing this as well? These are just troubleshooting steps. If multiple light sources (dome, headlight, etc.) do it, then it's most likely a voltage regulator issue.

After changing the front seats in a bmw mini
Hi,
BMWs have a history of showing unnecessary light alerts on the dashboard ...especially if they have outlived their roadlife. You need to check is there is any opening in your airbag windows...if none, simply ignore it....it will turn off itself with time.
cheers
