This info is probably only going to come from an insider or friend of a friend whos an insider but....

Does Anyone know if they have made any changes to the manuacturing process of the R56 or Clubman since the launch to correct bugs/problems even if they're not mentioned on this website?

Of course any changes related to the following known problems would also be interesting:
- Dashboard rattles
- Engine cold start rattle on MCS
- Clubman rear wipers out of sync
- Footwell centre console part reaching +55 degrees C

The goal is to know if I buy a MINI this month if it would be identical to one 3-6 months ago and therefore have potentially the same bugs mentioned here.

Thanks for your feedback guys.

According to Mini UK there is not a known problem with the clubman wipes out of syc this was there reply to me as I have had two new motors and one is still not in syc

I was concerned to hear that you believe that this is a common problem or design fault with the MINI wipers. I have checked our records and I have been unable to locate details of previous complaints being raised with us. We rely on customer feedback to assist in highlighting potential issues and I have noted your comments under case number XXXXXXX
