More early model year trivia ...
Alloy pedals didn't appear on Cooper S models until December 2002.
The power steering fan shared the same electrical circuit as the radiator fan until January 2003.
This meant that if road debris jammed the power steering fan causing the common fuse to blow, the radiator fan would not operate and the engine would overheat.
Putting the power steering fan on a separate electrical circuit was covered under warranty per Service Bulletin M320104.
The power steering fan was unprotected by a grille until October 2003.
For protection many owners added an aftermarket shroud like the stainless steel one shown below:

Great info Miniac, Thank you!
Ive wondered about the comments when disconnecting your battery to be sure not to close the boot. Now i get it
Think I'll add the power steering shroud to my list.
Do the dealers track completed TSB's by VIN? Would they be able to give me a list of completed TSB's?

There is a recall on the power steering pump which includes a shielded fan ...

If the power steering reservoir or supply lines in your car are leaking have them fixed before going to the dealer for the recall. These aren't covered under the recall and the dealer will gouge you to replace them when installing the new pump and fan.

"2002 COOPER S US
No Open Safety and Emission Recalls Were Found For Your MINI"
Too bad they don't show closed recalls and when they were completed.

The dealer was able to pull up the complete vehicle history (just got off the phone with them) and my 2002 has only had 2 recalls performed. A crankcase ventilation hose and an ECU reprogram. The service adviser said my VIN is just outside the power steering pump recall.
Interesting, if nothing else...
