    Sorry, but it is better to find that at home than on a long road trip far away. Hope that helps some.

    Yep check that P/S fan. My MINI is on its 4th one. I'd replace the serpentine belt every 30K. Slipping belts cost horsepower on an R53.

    Luckily the other things have been checked recently. I got a good look at the hoses while changing my thermostat a month ago. The serpentine belt is probably due soon i've inspected that but im getting close to the 30k mark on it. I don't believe mini's have a fan belt so I can scratch that off the list. I plan on checking my power steering fan next oil change. :Thumbsup:
