Just taken delivery of a 2003 Cooper S and the remote unlock only unlocks the drivers door and boot, not the passenger door

Is this something broken/stuck or is their an option to set it this way? (eg some combination or buttons being pressed that turns this 'feature' on and off)

Cheers

Sounds like the door actuator, a common problem on 1st Gen MINIs (I've had to replace mine twice).

£50 gets a brand new OE one, £20 gets a used one (I'd advise on getting a new one, the used one I bought broke 3 days after I fitted it frown).

Simple to swap out if you're ok with a set of spanners, takes about 30-45 minutes.
