    G'day folks. So since MCM got a Mini I've been a tad obsessed with watching them. They mentioned a valet mode whilst making supergramps that turns off boost while the car is being parked by a stranger and basically it can't get abused by the valet. I'm having my car worked on tomorrow (pot hole from hell f'd up my front driver side strut tower,control arm bushing and bent a rim) and I'm worried that someone is gonna take Bitsy Mae out and beat the **** out of her to "test" their work. Is there anything like this valet mode in an R56S? I'd like to take all the joy out of driving her while she's getting her knee replacement surgery.

    The Cobb tuner for the 2nd gen cars has that feature. I had one for my WRX and anytime it was in someone else's hands for work I set it on valet mode.

    They don't sell the new for MINIs any more but you can find them used. Just make sure they have been properly unmarried from the car. It's a good tuner and lets you switch between stages.

    Thanks! I had to drop her off yesterday evening, but I'll check into this Cobb tuner
