Fan Issues
Hi all. I haven't been on the forum in a while, but have since traded in my Clubman for a new Countryman in 2012. We've had very few issues with the car and is still one of my favorites.
Lately, we've encountered a cold snap, i.e. temps in the teens.
What I've noticed is, if I turn off the car, *sometimes* the fan remains on. If I try to turn on the car shortly thereafter, the car turns over, but the engine doesn't seem to catch entirely and sputters. After a few seconds, it usually snaps out of it and starts properly. This problem only happens if I have turned the car off and return to it within a few minutes to start again (running into the store).
I also notice that, if the fan is running, I can get it to stop by trying to restart the car and aborting.
The weather has warmed a bit and I have noticed the problem has gone away.
Thoughts?

Thanks for this. My Countryman has nearly 88k miles on it. I have an appointment for an oil change coming up. I'll ask about the spark plugs and coils.
