Have you ever had the car walnut blasted to clean the back of the valves since it’s a direct injection motor.
Carbon build up cause all kinds of issues that have lead many on wild goose chases looking for other issues.

There is a list of OBD2 fault codes here, but I can't find it since the update.
I googled P2789 and found that it means, "Clutch "A" Adaptive Learning at Limit." This applies to dual clutch automatic transmissions. This wouldn't apply to a 2007 justa. Error code P2789 is not in the Bentley Manual either. Are you sure you wrote it down correctly?
You need a BMW/MINI compatible OBD code reader, just Google that and you will find a few different code readers with that capability. Choose one that matches your price range. Anyone who has a MINI and likes to wrench on their own car should have one.-

My apologies - somehow I missed that post - Totally my fault on that and I accept full responsibility. Looking through what I have, I’m afraid I’m not going to be of much help.
Though I am curious about the exhaust leak - the flex joint is a common issue, and it might be worth looking there if you haven’t already.-

The code is P2789, which I belive may be specific to the Mini’s not sure, this is my first go round with Mini’s and after readin all the issues with this citron/peugeot engine may be my last. Although they seem pretty easy to Mod and repair which is attractive. May just sell it and go back to my resto project. -
Does the car have an auto trans?

What’s the year and model? Is it a R53, R56, R50, F56, etc? Which engine does it have? Countryman, Clubman, Coupe? S or Justa? Auto or Manual?
Any details at all other than just a code will help.
There’s been several major revisions to the body, engine, and pretty much everything else of MINIs, it helps if we know if we’re talking about a superchaged engine or a turbo engine, or an N14 or N18 etc.
It’s best when asking questions to provide as much detail as you can, that way the right people know what to answer. -
Thanks Dave! Here is a link to the codes but it does not have that code.

Cool thanks for the speedy replies! Dave sounds like he takes his stuff serious with a side of wth is wrong with you...
6- Speed, 2007 R56 1.6DOHC, my code reader is the lesser of two evils. Cost and Time. I have the mini/rolls/bmw code reader from fox something. The Car has nav unit and a message across the bottom states increased emissions but the only code faulting is the P2789.
I had trouble finding it also, yes the Standard ODBII is something to do with a clutch but when I view the transmission codes for mini I thouhht they had a different letter than P before them.
The car sounds like it has an exhust leak also.
Oh well... thanks for trying.
