Unidentified bolt

Found this on the floor of my FL2 2009, rolling around on the floor.

Any idea from where it came. It is about 8” long and the head fits flush into that collar shown. Has an allen head.

Ooops, nevermind. Thought it might be the driveshaft flange bolts but it's too long.

Are you sure it's not out/off of something you've had in the boot,
that's not related to the motor? DAVE.

It looks like the sort of bolt that you would use to secure something to the vehicle, for example a spare wheel, it's about the right length.
The corrosion suggests that it has been unused for a while. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Thank you for the thoughts.

I found it in the join of the carpet under the passenger seat and thought it must have been there since I bought the car, but I have had a nagging feeling that it is familiar. Dave77's comment about it coming off something that has been ion the car triggered my memory and it is the fork retention bolt off my son's bike!! Thankfully it is not a drive shaft bolt or something that holds the seat together.

These forums help keep our two freelanders, discovery and range rover chugging along and now the bike. Very impressed.

I think you are right, the recessed head collar looks like the handlebar adjuster on lots of bikes. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
