 |
|
Hello!
After driving 80 miles today my mini as started buzzing from under the bonnet.
It happens if the car is on/off moving or still and even when its alarmed and the keys are in my pocket.
Im a little concerned,
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ryan |

Check the head light adjusters, could be those that are making the noise.
Why 80 miles I'm not sure, but mine had a fault a made a sort of buzz when they tried to adjust.
Mine was easily fixed as it was only the plug at the back of the adlustment switch, it had come loose.

| heard of a buzzing noise when locking the car b4, this can be caused by the alarm becoming faulty, I would get Mini to put it on their machine to find the fault. |

Turns out something is still running when the car is off. Found out as at 1am a car alarm was going off. Didnt think anything of it and went back to sleep. Turns out it was my car telling me the battery was flat  Tried jump starting it but was just sparking everywhere so called out the recovery who got it going again but the noise is still there. He thinks its the fuel pump. Ive had to disconnect the battery so the noise stops and the alarm doesnt go off!
Got to take it to the garage tommorrow in melton
Only had it 13 days(it actually happened yesterday so i guess 12) |
