    Hi guys, me (again) :)

    My new to me Mini Cooper is stalling :( it's not me as my foot is firmly on the clutch when changing gear, and it's only happening when I brake to stop or slow down at a roundabout for example or I'm turning at a junction. Wtf is going on :( is it me being a tube or something the cars built to do. Have seen loads about this on american forums saying it's to do with the fuel they're all using. I assumed it was something to do with the start stop button. But the different fuel surely can't be the problem "/ I only bought the car last Friday 😭 I have 30day warranty on the purchase but if it's a quick/cheap fix I'd rather sort it out myself if possible instead of driving it back to where I got it. Any help would be much appreciated :) x

    Na, I thought that's what it was when it first did it. But it doesn't do it all the time, it only does it randomly maybe an hour or two a day? Is there anyway for me to turn that off, just to rule it out? When I press the clutch again it doesn't start, I have to press the start stop button to get the engine to turn over "/ x

    Behind the cup holders and in front of the gear stick do you have a button with an A and an arrow going in a circle?

    No buttons? I'd have thought there would've been at least one for the DSC, did you see the 3 little caps where buttons could go?

    Yeh three little caps are there, but no buttons. Iv got the usual "start stop engine" button up next to my steering wheel, and when I get anywhere close to slowing down it's like the car just stops dead. When I press the clutch it does nothing, I have to press the start button again to get the car to tick over. Iv got a 2007 r56 chili with the standard start stop button, so I didn't think it was the auto thing but I'm clueless so I could be totally wrong "/ x
