Hard Starting MCS
Hey all. I have done some searches for this topic and have come up with lots of little pieces of info.
Wondering if anyone else has this problem and or had it fixed. I have a 2003 MCS. When starting the car after it has been sitting for a longer amount of time (4-5 hours) it is very slow in turning over and starting. I have replaced the battery as it was still the orginal. As it has been colder it seems to be getting worse so I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? :impatient

Hrmmm, I am experiencing the same thing, and I think I might still be using the original battery (since I bought it used)....I would also like some help! Sometimes I have to stop and try it again to get it to start.

I had that same problem once or twice also, but jsut thought it was becuase i was on vacation in FL in extreme heat (couldn't be anything wrong with a MINI!) And it has not happened since I've been home. But now I'm curious for an answer too.... ANYONE??

Agreed. This is a NAM site that's supposed to help discuss problems and maybe get some good answers in return...not to be flip about it.
