Now then, this is a weird one! I'm used to such oddities with the RenaultSport but didn't expect it with the Mini! This morning on start up and again this afternoon I get the yellow car on stilts warning light, my clock, odometer etc have a zeroed and the blowers and air con only work when on full pelt! Any suggestions as to what on earth is causing this?? In some of the paperwork I got with the car the clock resetting issue is listed but with no apparent fix! Help!!

Sadly not, still having issues with the blowers but I have hopefully found the answer on TotalMini, looks like a faulty resistor pack for the blowers which makes sense, so currently trying to find one. I've since had a selection of other issues that have come and gone with regards to warning lights but they seem to have cleared now but the blower/AC issue is a total pain in the hoop, especially at this time of year!!

Thanks for that! It makes sense for it to be the resistor, will get the other half to check when he gets home as he has a meter to test it, my main problem is trying to source a replacement
