Couldn't see if anyone else has had this problem.
We are experiencing this problem with our Mini:

David has spoke to Mini UK and they have advised him to contact a local dealer and speak to them about it.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Haven't had the problem ourselves, but it is a fairly common problem with the earlier models.

R60 Light White / Red Countryman All 4 John Cooper Works Auto
R57 Chili Red Convertible John Cooper Works Auto
It's booked in with John Clark for next Thursday for diagnostic then they will contact Mini UK to sort out the claim, etc!
Not good when your steering goes hard and you have stitches in your arm!!!
Yip, this happened to my old '03 Cooper when I had it, it was leaking fluid badly. Thankfully mine was still fully under warranty then tho!
Very common problemOriginally Posted by dellie
Its caused by the pump overheating. Later models (cooperS mostly) are fitted with a cooling fan.
I had mine replaced under warrentee, but you can buy reconditioned units
Mine is an 05 and i just recently had the PASP replaced just before i bought it.
What age is your mini as
"BMW say that in January 2005 a modification was made to the pump supplied with all new Minis which virtually eradicated the issue"
not sure if that just applies to the electrical issue or not though
Mine was Jan 2005 (week 2) build.
2003
Even if they dont cover it a recon pump can be had for much less than a new one and its a doddle to fit.
