    I found this site while looking for info on removing my mirror covers. I own a 2013 Roadster S and am a former owner of an R56.

    I've lurked various Mini centric forums for a good while now, soaking up all sorts of great information from all of you Mini owners over the years while waiting for the day when I could actually contribute. You guys have already taught me a lot, so I decided to make M/A my home for my Mini protect.

    I google Mini Cooper Countryman Forums...I think I looked at 3 before I found the Ohio club here and decided I would like to make my home here.

    I was trying to remember what button number 1 on my cruise control did. I didn't want to get my owner's manual out of the glove box and when I searched on the interwebs your site was in the results. The fact that I could use Tapatalk is a big plus.
    BTW - I searched tapatalk for MINI and your site did not come up.

    I found it while cruising the internet mini forums and trying to decide wether or not to buy a mini. A lot of what I read here helped me make a choice I'm very happy with. Thanks guys.

    For a 2005 Justa Cooper I'd start with a new thread here...

    Cooper - Motoring Alliance :: MINI Cooper Forums

    If it needs to be moved, we'll do so. We'll also send you a note it was moved with a link to the new location.

    I picked up a new to me 2005 MCS, and was looking for a Mini forum. I spent a couple of days lurking around different sites and joined this one. M/A has an awesome group of enthusiasts who are very helpful.

    Stranded in Atlanta

    My 2010 Clubman S threw a "Check Engine" light at me while stuck in snow-bound traffic heading home from work in Atlanta two days ago. Pulled off down a side street and walked the last mile home. (UGH!)

    I have a OBD scanner and an Android tablet with the Torque app, and was hoping I could use it to find out what caused the "Check Engine" light, so I could decide if I should try to drive it home or call for a tow. Unfortunately, all the tow trucks in Atlanta are "booked" right now. (UGH AGAIN!)

    Found the most comprehensive listing of 2nd Gen MINI codes on the entire Internet right here at Motoring Alliance (Thanks, Nathan!)

    Unfortunately for me, I can't access past Page 1.

    I guess "I'm just lucky like that." =P

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Odd, I just checked. All pages are there. Whats the code? I'll be happy to look it it up for you.
