OBD test port
Where is the test plug in for the scan tool on the Mini? Never had to use it before. It doesn't seem to be in the normal location for most cars.

Thanks

Not sure about that location suggested by Wheetie - I seem to recall it being under the dash above the left knee.

Wheetie - no we aren't because on my 2004 MCS the bonnet release is on the passenger's side, not driver's. Note that the original poster put this in the First Generation forum.

Ok thanks guys. I did take a look but didn't see it. I will take another look. I know it's suppose to be in there. But before the Mini I had never seen a good release on the pass side either lol.
