Nearly 30,000 Mini Coopers are to be recalled in Britain after makers detected an electrical fault which could lead cars to catch fire.
German car maker BMW said the recall concerns 235,000 vehicles worldwide.

Manufacturers are investigating one case in Britain where a fire is being linked to the water pump, a spokesman said.
