Just curious why the cooling fan on these doesn't run all the time ?
I'm on my third replacement pump now.

First Generation MINI Cooper S

04 Cooper S JCW front calipers not red

First Generation MINI Cooper S

My check pads light came on and I will need front pads soon, but my 04 with a dealer JCW kit has unpainted calipers that are embossed BMW and the number 811 on the left one and 812 on the right one. I suspect these are not JCW calipers. Can anyone verify if I need JCW pads or normal Cooper S pads?
