Sometime this week my Mini had a stroke it appears.

2005 MCSC. The left headlight is staring down at the ground. So my assumption is that the auto-leveling mechanism is the culprit. My dealer is 90 miles away though.

Anyone have any troubleshooting I might be able to do on my own, to avoid the trip to the dealer?

 

LOL at your thread title!

 

Since your in Austin, you might try checking out Terry Sayther. He does quite a bit of work on MINI's and is very good at what he does.

Here is a link to his web site: http://www.terrysaytherauto.com/

 

Yeah, I'm aware of Terry. Didn't want to bother him until I"m ready to pay money though, since his time shouldn't be free.

 

It was the right light on mine; had to R&R the entire assembly. Hope you're still under warranty. . . :smile:

 

I had both of mine go out at the same time. Covered under warranty. They had to replace both headlight assemblies, (ouch).

 

Speaking of..My car is lowered and the headlights don't really light up the road like they used to, I find myself using the high beams at night on the roads i live on cause i can't see up to the next turn and stuff...Is there a way to manually adjust the autoleveling
