i had a reconditioned gear box put in my mini cooper and now the cd player is broken and asks for a code. I think its because they disconnected the battery. I have taken it to a mini garage but they can't fix the problem? Any ideas? Many thanks
Go to a Mini main dealership with proof that you own the vehicle. Also take along the servicing record. Using the VIN chassis number on the vehicle (and also in the service book) the dealer can look up the radio code for you but they may charge a fee. Most main dealers will give it to you for free if you ask nicely or are having any other work done on the car by them.
I'm puzzled by one thing though: a 2007 Cooper should still have been under the manufacturer's warranty, so a duff gearbox would be replaced by a Mini dealer. Part of the job would be to re-input the radio code. If this is what's happened and they couldn't provide you with the code I'd complain vociferously and get it fixed elsewhere in future.

I had the problem but fixed it with a simple double check of the "seating" of the rear shelf in the trunk. But- now it's back and I can't fix it.Shelf in trunk must sit perfectly and on the SENSOR lip ( left side I think) so that if anything is not perfectly aligned - top will not fold down. Easy fix - make sure back shelf is seated perfectly. Expensive fix - dealer must double check all motors and wires,etc

I'M LOST.... without my sat nav. I need a new disc for my Mini Cooper 57 plate. UK. Any idea where I could get one. My disc says CD2006-1 presumably I could get a more up to date one.
