Anyone have a clue

[Gam]

What this is?

Was cleaning up the engine bay the weekend and noticed this was loose.

Sorry if the pictures don't help much, it only appeared to be loose from one end and I couldn't see anything that it should attach to.

 

[Mentalpen]

does it not go in there?

 

[Gam]

Tried that, it does fit but it doesn't have anything to connect to?

Ninja edit: I think that holder is also for the bonnet support arm when its closed.

 

[Goose]

does it not go in there?

No, that's where the bonnet bar sits when it's not being used.

Never seen it before, or at least I've never noticed it. But if you look at the rubber moulding in the background of the picture you'll see an indent which looks to have been made by this pipe?

I'll confirm later in the day

It's a flow pipe of your battery i think:thumbup1:

 

[henderson]

its off the battery mate,think its called an over flow pipe or something

if you take the battery cover off you'll see where its meant to be attached,the other end just hangs down which maybe the end you've got hold of

Mark is correct. It's a drain for the battery. As stated above and the other end should clip in to the lower part of the bumper. It's located next to the fog light power connector on the same side as the battery.

Thanks chaps will have a look tonight and try to get it reconnected.

Yep it goes into your battery. Take the battery cover off and you'll see the hole.

Not yet mate but will be as soon as the samco pipe arrives. I noticed it when i was fitting my projectors.

its to vent the battery and take away any gases (hydrogen) that maybe given off when the battery is charged...
