Hi all...

I was under the bonnet the other day and found something just loose and free to do it's own thing. Guessing it should be secured somewhere, somehow.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you.

Should it be randomly sitting there, or should it be secured somewhere?

Should be attached to the underside of the battery tray.

I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago, the part was about £4.00 and clipped under the bat tray as advised by Brian....replace it mate if nothing for peace of mind.

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something here.

Is it broken then? Or just not secured in place?
