never seen anything like it before, was it just resting on the bumper under the washer bottle or clipped/bolted on somewhere, as if it was just loose it may have been collected from the road and bounced it's way in there.

Thanks Ralph! :crazy:

Sorry about the xpf image in the background, didn't twig till I just looked at the picture!:shoot:

So does no one have a clue? I don't think it can be THAT important as the car hasn't fallen apart (yet!)

ZSTurbo: It was just laying on the bottom of the plastic arch liner behind the bumper, below the washer bottle...

The Headlight washers don't have a heavy bracket like that.

Item 3, part no DNR100040, nothing like the bracket shown!

thats a retainer clip to hold the headlamp washer behind the bumper. i meant the headlamp washer models (mostly 45s) are fitted with a completely different water bottle as it features an additional pump pre fixed to a varient of the mg zs washer bottle we have. the other washer bottle's pump for the headlamp washers has a bracket that looks exactly like that

All the screen wash bottles for all models of the Rover45/MGZS are the same shape size etc, the only difference is that the holes cut out for the different pumps.
They are held on with 2 bolts: 1 from the inside the engine bay/inner wing and the other inside the inner wing near the chassis leg.
