Hi
I'm new here and looking to buy a mini Cooper S. I was looking at one tonight and every couple of minutes and fan would come on. Is this normal for a S?
The engine was hot.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.
:argh:

Check to see if the air con is on, The fan kicks in alot on mine when the air con is on. Switch it of an the fan stops running so often :thumbs up:

Hello J4SSR - When do you get the S ? Will you be putting up pics? Do you need a test driver?
