Good diagnostic, bad reason!

Previous MINIs I’ve owned have turned on a lamp if they detect a problem with tire pressures, and that’s it – this new Clubman is much more fancy, showing a graphic warning above the steering wheel that even points to the suspect tire; the center console display goes further, showing actual pressures:

 

 

Sadly, the car is correct; one tire was down to about 10psi – and it’s clear why; there’s a screw in it (the downside of living in a new home development I suppose):

Not sure it’s fixable; I’ve heard that it’s hard to get runflat tires plugged (the annoying bit is that this tire has only done about 600 miles!)

One thought on “Good diagnostic, bad reason!

  1. Ian – if your tires are Pirelli, they come with free road hazard for 1 year wth your MINI.
