That is very helpful. When you mention examining the fuel system, could you perhaps be a bit more specific about where exactly to look for potential cable issues? Any particular areas that are prone to problems? Also, where is the fuel pump relay located exactly?

Yes, my issue was definitely the fuel pump connection. Regarding the location of the relay, I am not sure. I would recommend taking your Mini to a workshop for a proper diagnosis. Given the error code already points to the fuel pump, and you are experiencing multiple related symptoms, it's likely a professional inspection is the most efficient next step.

I wanted to provide an update regarding my Mini Roadster. Following your advice, I had a thorough check performed, and indeed, the issue stemmed from a defective cable connection to the fuel pump. The repair cost was approximately 95€. Car performance has improved noticeably. Thank you for your assistance; it proved invaluable.

I had similar engine stalling issues with my Mini. I would suggest carefully examining the fuel system. Has the fuel filter been checked recently? A clogged filter can sometimes mimic fuel pump problems. Also, inspect the fuel pump relay. A faulty relay could intermittently cut power to the fuel pump. These are less expensive potential fixes to explore before replacing the entire fuel pump.
