MINI 06 wont start after shut down because didn't hit the clutch on time.

This is what happened to me this early morning after hanging with my friend in my Convertible MCS 06. I was sleepy and there was a speed bump, I reduce speed but forgot to press the clutch and obviously the car turned off then I tried to turn it on and didn't wanted to start, after various unsuccessful tries my friend pushed it and finally we could get to our homes. I woke up today and tried to star it again with the key and no luck!!!!! Is there anything that I can do to fix it because the mini was working really good. Please I'm desperate, don't want to pushed it to start it every time I want to go out haha...

Check the fuel cutoff switch (under the bonnet on the firewall if I recall). It may have been tripped when you hit the speed-bump.

Probably they are two unrelated issues. You stalled the car, and there was a new start issue that showed up.

There is a switch for the clutch that you can try to wiggle, after that, test/replace the battery.

Oops, first see if it jump starts with another car as the power source.
