I had this problem with my S. (July 02) When I stopped the fan came on and the car showed it was overheating. I phoned mini help and was told that if this happens not to drive it as it could cause more damage. It was taken away a new water pump was put on and have had no problems since. Must admit it scared the life out of me when it happened. I was also told by my dealer that the water should not need topping up between services? Anyone else heard of this. Brilliant car though!
