Hi all

My Mini does not seem to have bits in the places other Minis of my age do 

 

As have been going through my new Classic mini i start to notice stuff that is not quite working as it should, like the vents on the screen do not work even though i move the slider to screen and the fan works no or very little  air goes to the screen and seem to poor out of the side holes in. to the cabin, I can see the flap move but a lot of air blows past and i can feel some edging on the flap.

 

My screen washer fluid bottle is in the boot. and my cooling radiator does not have a thermostat on the bottom but the auxiliary fan has all the wire connected and i tested it with 12v supply and it works. so how does it trigger and when will it trigger

 

Any help would be greatly  appreciated

First pull the air vent hoses off at the heater end and see if you can feel a reasonable force of air leaving the heater from the two outlets when you move the slider to screen with the booster fan on?

The two plastic air hoses from the heater to the screen vents are also often a loose push fit on the heater and behind the dash where they push onto the plastic vent outlets below the windscreen/top dash rail, causing air to leak away before it reaches up to the screen. If so taping the joints to seal them better can help. 

 

Do you have the correct/original radiator fitted with electric fan sensor as shown in links below?

"From 1992, this is the switch as fitted by the factory on the bottom of their radiators and has a seal CDU2334 which is supplied. The retaining clip is KTP9002. Mini Spares radiators are made with screw in type switches to save them falling out or leaking."
