Is this supposed to be a drain hole on our 2008 Clubman? Please see attached thumbnail. If it is, it has been plugged since day one. Water pools in this area after every wash, rainstorm, etc. We have the car in for service today for other things, so if it is indeed a drain I'll have them unplug it while it's there.

Thanks!

Mine was plugged too. I just stuck the water-hose on it last wash, and it's drained ever since. Least last time I washed it legally.

 

It is only about 1/2" deep mine gets filled with dirt/leaves/yuck every once in a while and i just use the hose or a small stick, screw driver etc to clean it out. It only drains into the battery area. and then drains out thru other holes in the base of the battery compartment.

 

I have two of those on either side and both are open.

 

wait guys that is not a drain hole, you can run you beer tap lines through there I can't believe nobody else has done that mod yet???? It's awesome
It's great for mini rallies

 

Dont drink and drive!

 

Of course that was a joke

 

I tried cleaning mine out with the hose, but something was still stuck. Used tweezers, gave it a pluck, all better.

 

Here in the US that is on the passenger side

 

Mine is plugged, and I've tried to clear it. I'll try tweezers. It always fills with water.
