Mini specialist in/close to London

[silber]

Hi everyone

I have a R53 Cooper S that has a few electronics issues:

1. the satnav screen only stays on for a few seconds after the key is turned, and then stays off

2. when turning on the stereo, the only sound it makes is a loud click every few seconds.

I've tried a few things like checking for damp on the wiring in the doors (none) and changing the stereo fuse, but with no luck.

Is there a specialist anywhere in London (I'm in SE1) or nearby that will know the tricks of fixing these?

Thanks very much

1) SatNav
Everyone seems to says the SatNav is useless on R53s - I've never used one so can't comment personally. IMO? Don't bother with it and replace it with a chrono pack!!
2) Audio
Have you got a Harman Kardon in yours? The amps fail. Either way, you could get a car audio specialist to have a look?
