What did you do to your mini today?
Today on the way home, the ! In a triangle surrounded by a circle arrow yellow light came on in my R52 with just over 20,000 miles.
I called the mechanic and scheduled service for Friday.
Worried all all the way home.
Once home checked the manual.
Apparently I turned off stability control when opening the window at the parking garage.
Problem solved. Wish I knew more about my MINI.

Good point. I didn't get an owner's manual with my car. I downloaded it and printed it out. Foolishly, I put it in a file cabinet at home. I will store it in the emergency box in the trunk (fix-a-flat, pump and so on).

Replaced Supercharger!!
It was a "fun" day. supercharger water pump gears finally let go on the way to work. Managed to nurse it home (5 mi or so, letting it cool, add water drive coast as far as possible, rinse and repeat)
Good thing I had the replacement SC and water pump. (SC was growling for a week) That is a time consuming task, but is so worth it!!

Changed over from "lug bolts" to studs and lug nuts. NM parts, of excellent quality as usual. Installed new mounting brackets on my CF wing and reinstalled it. Things didn't go as well with the lights I was installing. Tried to install black LED side marker scuttles, but the adaptors that I was told to order from Amazon were the wrong parts and would not plug in to the wiring connector from the chassis. Put the JCW light back and now it doesn't work and I have fast flash on left turn signal like the bulb is out. Back to the drawing board on that. Attempted installing my new Helix UJ tail lights. No joy there either. Narrowed it down to a bad adaptor harness. Have to wait until Monday to contact the dealer about that.
New Studs (haven't scrubbed the rust off from sitting idle outside for the last month or so)
New Wing Brackets. (car's dirty, it's been raining the last few days)

Went for a drive earlier to get some readings on my new ScanGauge, chiefly I wanted to see my Intake Air, Coolant, and Boost Pressure readings, and got some good data from it. Now, seeing as the readings are coming from the ODB port, there could be some errors (my Horsepower reading went up to 193 at WOT near redline, so I'll need to adjust that for sure), but the ambient temps were around 68-69 Degrees F, and had the following:
Coolant temps: ~180-190F when cruising (fyi that low-speed for my radiator fan does not work)
Intake Air Temp: 75F @75mph in cruise control (went up over 90 under some load around 4-4.5k rpms or so)
Boost: Indicated 12.4PSI near redline
I haven't gone through my 2nd fill-up calibration yet, so perhaps that can cause some inaccurate readings, but given the sort of readings I was getting, I would wager that Egan is running as normal as can be.
