Won't start

From your description, it sounds like a dead battery or loose cable

Yes, definitely dead battery or cable. Before installing a new one, have the garage verify that the alternator is recharging.

My MINI has always had a slow drain. The dealership never has answers. I have replaced my battery once and keep an inexpensive recharger in the garage for those times that I have not driven my car for over 7-10 days.
