Apparently the windscreen washer bottle on the early production Mini Clubman vehicles was mounted on the radiator shroud, the one attached to the engine that supports the radiator. As a result it was subject to puncture by continual rubbing against the lower valance flange through engine movement.
Below is the factory issued instructions to Dealers to re-position the bottle on early cars in for routine servicing. I don't believe there was a recall as such.
I wonder how many of those early vehicles missed the re-work and still have the bottle in the original position?
