Minis have an electric power steering pump that is prone to failure. When replacing the pump, our technicians advise inspecting the cooling fan because it is often the cause of the failure of the pump.

Complete failure of the power steering while I was driving around a corner - no prior warning whatsoever that anything was wrong with the car.

My Husband drives a 2004 Mini Coooper and 3 months after he bought it uesd the power steering pump went out. The Mini dealership wanted 1300 to fix it, the dealer we got it from said he'd WORK with us on the price to fix it.... We still have yet to fix it. This morning he goes out and it turns over once, all lights go on and then it all goes dark and quiet... I go in to the front to the engine fuse box and pull the engine fuse and the ignition fuse and then he tries it again. There ya go....it started.... I love the car but it's a pain in the neck!!!!

The power steering pump is making a lot of noise, so I had a shop check it out. Power steering pump is toast (although still operating) and it is due to the fan not running properly. Estimated cost to repair is $1300.

just finished spending 2200.00 for a new clutch. 2 days after that, the power steering pump failed to turn off after the ignition is disengaged. each time i stop, i have to unhook the battery or it will go dead. estimated repair is 1100
