When I removed Sump cover plate to change Oil I discovered this (see Pic)
Rubber cover ? boot?
it was sitting on the Cover plate (engine side)
it measures 20mm long and approx 15mm Across
I looked and could not see a home for it
anyone seen one? know where it should go ?

Is it a bonnet thingy sort of thing to make the bonnet sit right. GS Sd4 2012

No they are all in place and a bit smaller with a Thread
thanks for reply though

Looks a bit like the boot that fits over the sliding part on the end of the brake calliper to keep the dirt out.

it's a rubber cap that fits over the brake bleed nipple behind each wheel ?

By the look of internal marks, its been resting on something hexagonal - brake caliper bleed nipple would be my guess too Jules

Where did you find it. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green
MY57 SE Stornoway Grey. Gone
Nissan X Trail

Series II Land Rover

When I removed Sump cover plate to change Oil I discovered it was sitting on the plate (engine side)

it is far larger than a brake bleed nipple protector
I will look again this AM and report back if I find its home.

It's Land Rover part No:80083 called the customer confuse cover,from LR workshop manual "on first service place part No:80083 somewhere in engine compartment so customer finds it when he decides to have the vehicle home serviced and wonders WTF is this ?". Hope this helps.
