Hi Folks, my girlfriend's 05 Cooper Convertible is displaying an odd starting issue.
Occasionally when she turns the key nothing happens.
She's quite mechanically minded and she tells me that there is no click i.e. starter solenoid firing & normal dashboard lights.
I've checked the voltage at the battery and all seems fine to me.
I had Google'd it and there are a couple of threads on other forums that mention the immobiliser which sounds plausible to me but there is nothing definitive.
Has anyone here had this issue?
I'll happily take it to a dealer but I'd rather not go with a blank expression on my face.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Gordon
