Get it using the Delphi part number...not "mini".....
Last time I heard somebody get it cheap, was auto zone, etc...it is used on other cars.

intermiitent starting problem 2005 mini

Was puzzled for over a year because the car would start and when I tried to restart, nothing. Would get out, open passenger side door, get back in and the car would (almost always) restart. Dealer couldn't figure it out. Took it to an independent, started every time. He figured out I wasn't depressing the clutch far enough. Told me there's a switch activated by the clutch. Problem started after I'd had the car 6 yrs. My understanding is that as the clutch wears down, you have to push the clutch in further.
