service engine light
My sevice engine light came on today, no problems with the car, runs fine. Can anyone check the codes or does it have to be a MINI dealer?

Anyone or any place with a code reader can check the codes for you - good luck with it!

Some auto parts stores will check codes & reset for free. Like Autozone.
