IT would be nice if those with "Great Stories" of their Mini's would post. Maybe I will just lease it and get a new one every 3 years?

mini radiator fan by mymemni

I have a 02 mini cooper with 112k miles, change oil myself every 5k miles, no problems, replaced battery at 95k. now the radiator fan will not stop running, I have to disconnect neg battery cable to get it to stop. dealer (Richmond, Va.) says the whole fan needs to be replaced to the tune of $600. the bumper and radiator needs to come out to replace the fan. anyone have any experience with this? I'm fairly mechanically inclined so is it something I can do?
 
also it is time to do my first brake job, Id like to replace the rotors with drilled and slotted and use EBC green stuff pads and replace lines with braided stainless
any thoughts?

Your brakes lasted 112K miles?!! Wow. We had to put in new pads on our '05 at about 20K miles!

20K miles and needing brakes?
 
Either you must drive with one foot on the brakes or be a mail delivery person.
 
Just joking, but that is WAY too early to need a brake job!

That's what I thought too. Mind you though, that 20K miles were 100% city, stop and go miles.

ok, we've determined that 20k is too early for a brake job, what does that have to do with my original post?

Nothing, sorry, I don't have any advice to offer you on your original question. I guess we just got side-tracked with the 112K miles between brake job thing!
