Mini Clubman starting problem

My 2008 Mini Clubman diesel refuses to start. I suspect an engine control malfunction. There are no unusual noises, but the engine simply won't turn over. I'm wondering if the cable connections of the battery are to blame. Has anyone experienced this?

I had a similar engine fault issue on my Clubman. The engine light illuminated, and I experienced an engine surge intermittently. Have you checked the engine diagnostics for any error codes?

Interesting. What was the ultimate cause of the engine surge and the fault? Were there any other symptoms besides the engine light?

Yes, the engine light was consistently on, and I did experience starting issues. It could be related to the engine software, but I would recommend a visit to the workshop. They will be able to diagnose the root cause.

Appreciate the information. Turns out the cable connections of the battery were not good, as suspected. All sorted now at a cost of 155€. Thanks again.
