Hello fellow MINI lovers. I have a bit of a problem. My R56 doesnt cranck nor start. It started fine yesterday. Today i checked all the fuses, the ones under the steering wheel and the ones in the engine bay. My delphi software tells me that i have the following codes:

A0C1
Terminal 50 output
Input signal missing or faulty
Permanent

A0C2
Terminal 50 output R S
Signal too low
Permanent

A0B4
Starter motor, starter operation
Permanent

The battery has 12.30V, j already tried starting it with the jumper cables. Tried knocking on the starter motor with a hammer, tried all the fuses in the engine bay and all have 12V of power on them. I also tried switching out the relays between different spots to se if maybe one was damadged but still no luck. A friend of mine who studies electricity tried them with a multi meter and they are fine. I read that this could be the fault of the clutch switch, the CAS module, and of course a bad starter. I don't want to order a new one until i am absolutely sure that it is the source of this problem. I would try to push the car down a hill and see if it starts bud since i replaced the timing chain two days ago and haven't driven it since i am afraid that this could over-tension it and will rattle again. Please help

Also check the earth cable is still attached to the engine block. Its at the left hand side as you look in the engine bay.
