My GF's '02 Mini Cooper is playing up in an odd way. When stationary and idling it will randomly act like its stalled, but not actually stop the engine. The radio and everything goes off, and then immediately comes back on along with all the dash lights coming on like when you first start up. For all but 1 time its done it the engine has remained running. Occasionally the power steering will stop working for a few minutes after it does it too.
Its random when it does it. Sometimes it goes days without doing it, but just now I was sat idling and it did it consistently about once a minute for 10 minutes. Also some mornings its randomly wiped the computer, suggesting its done it over night when not in use too.
Its all a bit odd. I don't know where to start looking. Has anyone had something like this happen? First instinct is to change the battery, but its less than a year old.
