Greetings
Greetings From Springfield, Missouri. The center of the known Universe . . .
I am a new owner of a used 05 MINI Cooper. I haven't had it registered yet, because when I went to have it inspected, I was informed that I had no turn signals or brake lights. I also have no hazard flashers either.
I got this vehicle for my girlfriend, but I was quite taken with it as a driving experience. Other than the lights, I really like it. I have been all over the thing trying to trace this problem with no luck.
The nearest dealer is 200 miles away. Sorry to make my first post with a complaint, but after imersing myself in mini lore, it doesn't seem to be all that uncommon or inappropriate. Love at first sight rarely takes place without some problems . . .

I suppose it could always suck worse -- At least it starts and runs well. The brake lights and signals, while limiting use of the Cooper, are also serving to keep me driving the speed limit.
Taking the interior apart to try to trace the problem has provided me with a pretty good education on how the MINI goes together. Once I finally figure this out I believe that I will still be happy about my purchase.
Donna, the reason I say Springfield is "the center of the known universe" is because wherever I roam, I always run into people who have some tie to my home town.
Thanks for the wonderful welcome
