2009 Mini One 1.4 - one or two fan relays

[Top Gear TVR]

Just single speed fan but only 1 relay in the relay box in the engine bay. Should it have 2? Can someone check a 2009 1.4 mini one?

Hey,

I’ve got a 2009 Mini One 1.4

Send me a picture of what you want me to look for and I’ll do it. Alternatively, will a photo of the relays suffice?

a photo of the engine bay relays would do

Looks like just the one relay. But not the single speed fan you believe you have if this is correct.

That link is for the F56 (I.e new shape) not the R56 which is the 2009?

If you still need it, let me know and I’ll post a pic tomorrow?

Good spot! I picked the wrong '56 there.

This should be the wiring diagram for yours:-

I agree entirely. Unfortunately complex is required for lots of the functions on cars that people have come to expect. In fairness to BMW, the complex version is probably a huge improvement on the constantly failing 2 speed fan system of the early models.
