In order to replace the radiator fan resistor of the Mini One, you will need to have access to the fan itself, which is located in the front part of the engine compartment. To access this component, you will need to completely remove the front bumper.

This can be done by loosening the screws that hold it from the top of the component after opening the hood; you will also need to loosen the screws that hold it from the bottom and from inside the wheel arches. Once the bumper has been removed, you will be able to locate the resistor, which will need to be disconnected from its cables and replaced with a new one.
