What is this?
« on: 26 September 2010, 14:55 »
I was having a peek around my engine bay and noticed this;



I have a funny feeling its not meant to look like this, can anyone shed some light on to this and what it does.
Is it important?

Its a little bit hard to make out, but if thats your exhaust manifold (heatshield with jubilee clips?) and your brake servo is the black round thing then the rubber with the hole in it is your steering joint boot.

Best thing to do is pop in to a garage just have a mechanic take a peek at it ... won't charge for that.
