Nobody (or very few at least) are going to take you seriously with typing in all caps and poor spelling and punctuation. It's the Internet equivalent of yelling and someone has already asked/informed you of typing this way. Poor spelling and punctuation is (normally) just being lazy.

Have you tried resetting the Low tire pressure light?  It can be caused by one or more of the 4 tires may be under inflated, or if the ASC / DSC light is also on, then one of the rotational speed sensor may be defective.

For the purge valve issue, check to make sure the gas cap is securely closed and check to make sure all connection at and around the purge valve is secure. You can also install a vacuum gauge at the purge valve and check that you have 0 inches of vacuum at idle - the solenoid is normally closed.  I 'can' be caused by a defective gas cap.

And just a friendly suggestion from another 02 MINI owner, turn off your CAPS LOCK KEY!

Ken, the Mini Mania MINI guy, will probably be able to help. He'll be back in the office on the 2nd and is likely to see your post.

I do not suggest that l know anything about the BMW MAXI minis but common in all cars is the fact that if you live in a cold weather zone, your tire light will come on at certain cold temps

Big AL

P S: l have noticed how low of a price older BINIS have depreciated to, certainty not keeping their value like the classic mini
