I have not yet checked all the vacuum and pressure hoses. I am doing this work at home and I did not have the smoke machine for checks, so I will take the car to a Mini mechanic to get this checked next.
The Valvetronic fault codes are the ones I am more concerned about, I cannot find any information on this for Mini, they are always talking about BMW cars for these codes.
I am going to replace both solenoids (11368610388) for around $300 USD and see if that rectifies it.
My issue is that maintenance costs are so high here that it is nearly always cheaper to scan codes yourself, guess the parts and replace yourself than to take it for a diagnosis. (I was charged $300 for an incorrect diagnosis last time I went to the dealer.)
