GMINI,

I won't do the search for you, but yes, there have been several reports of PS fan failure that have been reported as caused by foreign matter injestion. (FOD for you aircraft types.) As I understand the problem though, when the fan goes, the fuse blows, and the same fuse supplies the radiater fan. As infrequent as the problem may be, the end results have been reported as catastrophic.

I plan to buy a skid plate for my MINI's Christmas gift.

Late night silly request. Late night silliness. I take your word for it. I remember reading of the chain reaction.

Go MINI.
