New Mini Owner
Hi all
New Mini owner here. Just purchased 2008 Cooper S 5/30. Happy to be here, more excited to be a Mini owner!
I already have an issue however, and wonder if anyone can be of assistance. With just 40k miles, the check engine light is on. Any suggestions since I can't take it into the shop until Monday morning?
Thanks and happy motoring!

i purchased the above to scan for codes and to delete codes myself.
it does various diagnostics and reads your obd or on board computer.
if i get a check engine light, i will scan the code and google the code for my car to see what the trouble is. i will delete the code and if it returns in a couple of days or sooner then i take it to the dealer.
this also helps me confirm the dealer or mechanic is confirming what i already know to be wrong with the car.
the connection is usually somewhere under the steering column.
it's good to have and you can use it on all modern cars i think starting from the early 90's. just make sure you get the obd II scanner and not just the obd scanner. the newer model reads more cars.
