Mini Clubman Diesel Ignition Fault

Sounds like a right pain. I had similar gremlins with my Clubman – kept getting random electrical fails. Check the starter solenoid, had a friend who chased a ghost for weeks and it turned out to be a corroded connection there. Have you checked the earth straps too?

Cheers for the quick response. Starter solenoid is a good shout, hadn't thought of that. Whereabouts is the earth strap located? Is it easy enough to get to without stripping half the engine bay?

Yeah that sounds about right. I messed with it for an afternoon, and then I gave up and sent it to the workshop. They found a similar thing, corroded connection. Best to get it sorted before it fries something expensive. Let me know how it goes!

Cheers for the help. Dropped it at the shop, and you were spot on. They traced it to a dodgy connection in the wiring harness, right near the battery terminal. 95€ later, and she's purring again. Simple circuit break, but a PITA to find.
