I've got a 2006 cooper R56 that I've had since almost new, it's got about 60k on the clock now.
Tonight, the battery warning light came on then after about 5 minutes the overheating warning light came on. At the same time, the heater was blowing stone cold air despite being set to hot and the car was warmed up. When we arrived home the cooling fan ran after switching the engine off.
Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem?
Thanks.
Edit - just been out to look under the bonnet and the coolant level is really low, barely any in the expansion tank. What are the common areas for leaks?
I'm assuming this is unconnected to the battery light?
