Hi Nick

Long story -- I have an issue with my Mini Cooper 2007 R56 150k km mileage. It has had this problem a month after replacing the clutch, but it seems to get worse now. Most of the time it starts successfully but sometimes it just cranks forever and not start, I push the stop button then it shows yellow steering lock warning light with exclamation mark for few seconds and immediately shows yellow cruise control light with exclamation mark. Eventually, it would start successfully and shows yellow engine malfunction light. Sometimes it cuts while driving and shows the same warning lights.

A month ago i took it to one BMW dealer, they could not find the problem on diagnosis. So they did full service spark plugs, oil, brake fluid, air filter. Took it to another BMW dealer a few weeks ago, they replaced themostart and some oxygen sensor, whole job for $800. The same day after getting back my car, still has both starting and cutting issue. Took it back to them the following day, they still can't diagnose the problem. The car is not storing any faults they say. And they don't think it's the fuel pump. Anyone had similar problems before? Please help guys, I reli don't know what to do now.

If your vehicle has an electronic steering lock (ELV), it could be faulty causing the no start. This is what it sounds like is going on with your vehicle. Of course you are going to have to scan the vehicle using a MINI scan tool. If the ELV is faulty, there will be a fault code stored.
