Dear members, I am a newbie on this forum and looking for some advice regarding my daughter’s 2002 (R50) Cooper.
It has suffered from the traditional failure of the electric power steering pump, and I am in the middle of replacing it.
To my shock, when I got under the car there did not seem to be any cooling fan for the pump.
The two mounting studs were present but there was no sign of the wire and plug for the fan.
Is it possible that it didn’t have one from new?
If it did have one and some idiot has removed it and its supply cable, does anybody know where the cable comes from or should be found?
I need to get this car back on the road quickly but am reluctant to leave the new pump without a cooling fan.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Nick.
