A set of conventional mini and low profile fuses is available. Verify the fuse in the fusebox from which you plan to piggyback, and you will not encounter any issues. 😉 solely due to the C-HR employing several fuse types

Is this the appropriate piggyback fuse holder? I am quite perplexed by your remark on a modest profile.

Thank you.

Standard tiny and low-profile mini fuses

Hello, what size piggyback fuse holders are required for the glove box fuse box fuses? I have ordered a 2022 automobile but have not yet picked it up; I intend to install a dashcam once I have brought the car home. Thank you.

I recently encountered the same issue with my 2016 Mini Cooper S F56. The brown ground wire shorted and melted the clip connecting it to the rear light cluster. It also caused a malfunction in the light cluster. Replaced the light cluster, installed a new clip, and established a new ground connection.

I possess a comparable issue. The left turn signal and backup light are reported as nonfunctional; nevertheless, upon inspection, all bulbs illuminate. I have attempted to clear the code, but it reappears. It also indicates that my adaptive lights are defective, however their movement up and down is observable. I have adapted to the complaints; however, I am unable to reset functions such as oil changes since the warning persists and prevents me from clearing it to perform the reset. I suspect it is a computer issue. For a 2011 Mini, the expense of attempting resolution is not justified. I would sell the car if my wife did not cherish it so deeply!

The plastic around the bulb holder can be melted; new holders are available from BMW at a reasonable cost. Occasionally, the light unit itself may also be damaged. Additionally, instances of incorrect bulb types being used have been observed.

My R55 Clubman has exhibited a dashboard light problem in recent months, which I have traced to the left rear light cluster. The indicator primarily malfunctions, albeit it operates intermittently at times. Although it now sometimes also affects the brake light. I am unable to predict the efficacy of my indication. Indicates a defect in the light cluster rather than in the individual bulbs. Has anyone encountered a comparable experience?

It is highly probable that the gearbox is the issue, as they are notoriously fragile.

I had it changed at a BMW dealership, with the cost covered by BMW; nonetheless, this issue predated the EGR repair.

I observed this in October 2025; however, it could be a defective EGR module. Last year, I encountered a comparable issue with my vehicle in Japan, which resulted in a recall being issued. Following the installation of a new component at BMW's expense, the issue was resolved and everything is functioning properly. If the issue persists, it may be prudent to investigate that matter.

It is a two-wheel drive.

Is it equipped with X-drive?

It appears to be a common failure of the Aisin gearbox. You may consider servicing the gearbox; however, I remain sceptical about a permanent resolution.

Greetings everyone, I possess a 2016 BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer with a 1.4L diesel engine and automatic gearbox, accommodating seven passengers. At low speeds (below 20 mph), particularly in stop-and-go traffic, the gearbox occasionally jerks violently, resembling the sensation of being struck from the front or rear. I have infrequently received a "Transmission too hot" warning, which dissipates within seconds. I had not seen it for six months; nonetheless, I encountered those individuals today when travelling through the town this afternoon. A BMW dealership reported that they conducted an inspection and found no apparent problems or warning codes. Another mechanic recommended a complete gearbox replacement, estimated at between £5,000 to £6,000, which seems like a significant increase. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or possess any insights regarding the potential cause? Your feedback is appreciated - thank you!

That is the extent of my input; I believe you may need to operate a standalone ECU. Although it may be overly opaque, there are individuals proficient in SDS who could assist with coding. Best of luck; it appears to be an enjoyable transformation once initiated.

Thank you for your response. I have removed the antenna (bag) situated near the ignition switch, as well as the chip and the DAS module located behind the dashboard of the W140. Initially, I saw a "FAULT DAS" message; but, upon locating the precise DAS diagram, the issue vanished, enabling me to access and interpret engine trouble codes such as P0431.

Doesn't the W210 possess a formidable security system? The removal of the ignition switch and module remains ambiguous.
