For two years I blamed the Column Lock for getting the remove key and
wait ten minutes message in the DIC. The tech at my dealer finally
figured out I had a bad key.  They replaced the key and I have never
seen the problem again.

Try your spare.

Is your car a six speed? If so they did not fix the lock problem.They only
re-program the computer
so it will not run when the steering lock is engaged.
 If your spare key does not work and you are sure you have good battery
power then there is only one of two options to do.
Keep paying the dealer for the same repair or do what I and others have done
and order the lock by-pass.
The job took me under 40 minutes to do and it is working great.
here is a link to order( I did my research and they have a better kit ,and
the best price also )
         Hope this helps.

P.S. Low voltage will cause the stering lock to not disengage properly

lives here (Florida). She ships in Cooper Minis and sells them
across the country on EBay... The Mini guys seem to love the
right hand drive Coopers.
