No problem, glad this video was useful to you. I know there are many reasons why a car will not start, but this is what fixed mine and super happy it has helped you and others.
Thank you T Dug. Glad you found the video useful. This was actually an early video, I have now created a channel Hyphens Classics, which has a better version of this video and a whole bunch more.
@@hyphensclassics hi, I had a look at the new channel but cannot find the updated video. I took the switch apart but can't figure where the bearing a white bit of plastic goes to put t back together.
Things to consider, some you may have already checked: Battery voltage at battery and then at the post under the bonnet Check engine earth on far side of engine on the engine mount. Check alternator is ok Check vibration dampener is still good
Hi Matthew, when I had this issue, it was close to when the battery was also no good. The car starts up as normal, lights come on, petrol pump primes etc, but on the final turn for the starter motor you got nothing. It was a bit intermittent for a very short time and I did need a new battery so thought that was the issue. Changed the battery and then had the same issue days later! Did some research and found this to be the issue. Has worked fine ever since!
@@themklyfe9283 yes, very similar to what I had. I thought the issue was the battery as it was quite old, but this then happened with the new battery. Glad you found the issue and are now back on the road with no issues!
sounitda chanel I have started a proper YT channel and made a slightly better video of how I fixed this. If it helps head over to Hyphens Classics and take a look. I also do a number of other vids on Mini’s. Best of luck finding the issue
@@birdhz8235 so glad this video has helped you. It is a simple fix that saves us all a bit of money as there could be multiple reasons for a car not working!
Your video saved me thank you! I used isopropyl alcohol to clean up the contacts cause I had a hard time with the nail file. Worked like a charm
Good plan! Glad this worked for you, it is not well known but a definite issue
Thanks bro, i had the same problem and got it fixed thanks to you, works like a charm
No worries bud, glad it helped…and saves money!!
Thanks, well produced and informative video. It costs nothing to inspect and clean the ignition switch.
Thank you and sorry for the very late reply! I am glad you found it useful, this video certainly has been my most popular
Thanks for this I carried out this quick repair on my wife's mini cooper and seems to have worked perfectly.
P.S if anyone is unsure that this is the fault it is only a half hour job to remove and clean.
Awesome so glad this helped! Indeed such an easy thing to try and save a lot of money and heartache!
Thanks for watching

@@wevved most of it should be visible from this video, if not send me some photos to my email michael@hyphensclassics.com
@@wevved this is the video...ruclips.net/video/iZqqAH6REkk/видео.html, but very similar content
My mini just clicks once no start...is this starter motor or this ignition switch problem? Any advice greatly welcomed..
This issue is when you get no sound at all. Have you had anything done on the car recently?
Things to consider, some you may have already checked:
Battery voltage at battery and then at the post under the bonnet
Check engine earth on far side of engine on the engine mount.
Check alternator is ok
Check vibration dampener is still good
@@hyphensclassics i managed to charge battery and bump start it yesterday...it's in a garage getting starter motor fixing today...fingers crossed
@@area51london at least you got it moving! It will be great to hear how things go with the garage
