Hello, had my 2011 BMW engined R56 Cooper D for about 2 months. It replaced a Golf R and so far I love it - great handling, genuinely fun, cheap to run - good good good.

BUT

The horn goes off randomly sometimes when i'm driving. Not very often, but when it does it makes me look like a right tit, partly because it scares the life out of my.

Any ideas what the hell it might be?

Also, whilst i'm here - if anyone has links or knowledge of common issues/things you must check on the R56 please let me know.

Thank you,
Rob

I'm guessing from my lack of finding anything on google, and the overwhelming response to this thread, that I have a completely unique issue. Excellent biggrin

Thanks all. Ha da good look at the wiring to check for fraying etc, couldn't see anything but equally it hasn't done it since - so maybe there's a slight break in a connection somewhere which i've accidentally "fixed" for now. smile
