1 Handbrake, is very poor, i've already ordered an Mini front cable with the compensator, so that should fix that, i will probably look at pads also as their advised as being low,
RADIO Is dead, This car has the built in highline gps unit and an Arial amplifier in the boot, the amplifier is unplugged, but there are two connectors off the loom for it, one blue, one grey, would this be why its dead? does the feed for the radio come via the amplifier? or should i look at the radio fuse on the unit, Everything else seems to work fine, also i need a space saver, the previous owner has fitted the larger MGZR Wheels, so i don't expect the standard spare will be any use,
The highline system has three units in the boot, the CD drive / satnav computer, which is on the offside rear wing, in the spare wheel well, adjacent to the rear bumper is the radio module and the video module, which if there has been water ingress into the spare wheel area may have stopped working - have read of the posts in the I.C.E. section of the forum, plenty of posts in there addressing the issues with the Highline system
