It seems my 03 cooper knows it's christmas and as such has given me the delight of 4 (YES 4) warning lights on the dash in the last 2 weeks frown

It has ABS, Tyre pressure, Handbrake and just yesterday the seatbelt light decided to join the party and is now on!

The car is driving fine, is it a case of sensors stting themselves at once? or something worse?

Cheers.

Get it looked at and stop driving it. For a start if you have ABS and brake warning lights on together you have a serious problem with the braking system and at the very least you have no ABS (also probably no ASC/DSC/EBD etc.). You might thinjk it's driving fine but only because you haven't had to do an emergency brake on slippery cold wet roads yet.
It might just be a warning system fault but you should always assume the worst when it comes to braking systems, you really do not want brake failure!
You sound like a school teacher, I'm not going to be ragging it around knockhill. It's booked in for Monday just wondered if anyone had any experience of this before it goes to the garage, Having looked on a few mini sites the sensors are a very common failure of Minis of the age so fingers crossed.

Thanks anyway.

The garage had the car about a week it was a mixture of sensors playing silly buggers and some other things I can't quite remember. Had the car back a few months and the gearbox failed.

Was I glad to see the back of that car!
