Help needed to identify parts not connected in the trunk
Hi all,
Whilst evicting the mouse from my boot/trunk I noticed a couple of things that appear that they are not connected. As I don't know what the parts are I'm not sure if they should be connected to something.
Can anyone help identify what these items might be and if they should be connected to something?
Between the battery and the rear fusebox is the first item - arrowed in the picture below. It's a rubber hose that runs along a plastic holder and drops down to the floor where is seems to exit the car. One end is just open and not connected to anything. Is this just a breather pipe for the wheel well?
What is this rubber pipe?
The second is some sort of electrical connector. Is this just a spare connection for some equipment I don't have? I can't seem to see where it should be connected to. It just has one wire to the plug. The wire is brown and white.
What is this electrical connector?
Thanks all. I'm just a bit worried that these should be connected to something as I've found some other very sloppy work in the wheel well. Bolts and nuts missing, loose parking sensor module, battery not bolted down properly etc etc.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks so much JagV8, Wingrider and dvjag. You've all been so very kind being so helpful. It's very much appreciated. I'm looking into these now. I'll strap up the electrical connector out of the way of harm and I'm looking at the battery vent. I can't seem to find a vent on the battery currently in the car but I'm sure there is one somewhere. Once I find it I'll fit the pipe or some kind of extension pipe if it's in another location on the battery.
