Can anyone let me know if they have had the same problem

On returning to my car I discovered

No access through keyfob
No indicators
No hazards
No Heater
No Elactric Windows
No Mirrors
No Wipers
No Electric Mirrors

But started ok but when started

Headlights straight on at full beam (unable to dip)
Brake lights on

But hey its ok Stereo still works

Any Ideas as it has been in the garage for 3 days with my hubby shouting at them that its a wiring loom melt which they seem to disagree..

Many Thanks

Has a new stereo been fitted, especially an iPod connector, some Dension kits caused all kinds of electrical problems

It is an 02 thanks I will tell hubby as its double dutch to me, is this a common problem? already had the hatch lock replaced due to water as the central locking wasnt working. Maybe car just needs dried out (a gallon of petrol and a box of matches would do the trick). Thanks again it is sitting in JCs now so hopefully they will get back to me this year.

I've heard of this on MINI2, not sure it's a common fault but it's one I'm sure JC's should know about.

The BC1 module getting wet is a common failure. I thought it was subject to a recall/service bulletin.
The one on my old 51 plate One was replaced at its second service, along with a few other enhancements, without it being faulty.
