10K (s)miles

On the way to work this morning, I reached 10,000 miles …

Not quite 7 months (a little quicker than GBMINI#2), and nothing to complain about.
The cold start issue seems normal for many MINIs but was resolved by switching to a different gasoline; the spurious SES light did not happen much, and was recently cured (hopefully) by an engine software update.

And for those anti to the automatic transmission, I can only tell you that my MINI enjoyment is at least as high with GBMINI#3 as with the previous manual transmission MINIs …

    My cold start issue has gone away. I didn’t get a software update. Just at about 3k miles it disappeared. I need to get my car in the wiring harness recall but my hasn’t had a SES/EML light due to the wiring in the last 2k miles.

    It’s time for a free oil change!

    Great Ian, Hope that the software upgrade has corrected the SES issue.
    Motor on
