Hi
Just wandering if you can offer me any advice on my situation with my mini radio:

I have a 2 seater mini coupe 2012 model.
I went on holiday January 31st, I drove it just hours before leaving and the radio worked fine.
I came home, 2 weeks later, got in my car and the radio won't turn on. The date and time show up and the radio screen lights up orange when I put the key in the ignition but it just won't turn on.

I took it to my local garage, they said all the fuses are fine and that they couldn't work out why it wasn't turning on.
I took it to another garage today. The mechanic there thought, if it had been sitting for a while, maybe the battery had lost power, enough to not power the radio. I said i'd been home a month from holiday and drove every couple of days, roughly 8 mile out and 8 mile back to and from work so it hadn't been sitting loads but thought it was worth hearing what he was saying. He said he charged the battery up, checked my car battery, disconnected my car battery or whatever to see if re-connecting it sparked the radio back to life, he checked the alternater and said it was all fine and in good condition. He said he'd fiddled around with the radio and again, that the fuses were all fine and still couldn't figure it out. So, it remains un-fixed.

He suggested I go to my nearest MINI Dealership which is Shrewsbury and get them to have a look at it. He said its likely there will be roughly a £100 fee for them to even look at it and at least a 2 week wait to even get an appointment.
I go away again in 2 weeks for 10 days - my work days are unpredictable beyond this and so, i'm undecided with what to do for the best right now. Whether to book it in for a few weeks time, have unknown costs hanging over me and deal with work after, or, whether to wait and wait until after the holiday.
I just don't know, I just feel like its a complete mystery! - one day it works, two weeks later, it doesn't work anymore, it just won't turn on. Although I have only tried 2 mechanics, I live in a rural area, have to drive about 10 miles out to a garage and make a day of it in the local town whilst the car is looked at. I've done this twice now and, well, i don't have anything pressing to do in town anymore! It is just me and my mum at home, she works a lot so I am on my own in a sense, i can't drop it somewhere and get a lift back.
I just feel like no one can offer me an answer, a cause or dare I say it, a solution to the problem.

I am just undecided with where to go next with it or what to do.
Luckily, its nothing crucial that has gone wrong in the car like, the engine or something mega important. It is just fustrating and its always on my mind as, as trivial as it may sound, I love my music in the car and hate driving along thinking there is something wrong with the car, that something just bugs me and I feel like I need it fixed.

I don't know.. its a mystery and could be an expensive fix at a Dealership - ugh, I just don't know....

If anyone sees this message and can offer advice, please do!

Thanks!

Only a philistine turns the volume control knob so that it's not vertical! Always use the steering wheel buttons. :-)
