Loose Shroud Under Engine - RESOLVED
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Heard a scraping noise from under the engine bay while out driving earlier this week. Assumed it was a plastic bag or twig and left it to the week-end to see if it was still there.
When I had a look under the engine, I found this dangling from the underside of the engine:

Any ideas what the plastic shroud is? Does it belong on the XKR? If so, is it important and does it need to be re-fitted? Or can I just ignore it? What does the plastic hexagonal duct do?
Best wishes, Colin
