:omg: thought Martin had it then after I just checked and realised the RV8 didn't have ABS.

The mystery of the little component deepens





What is the small component
[img


CLUES:

The component in the image is factory fitted to some post 1995 MGs only, and debuted in the MGF.
This component was also fitted in a few Rovers of the era, but the MGF was the first to use it.
Only some MGFs had/have this fitted.

We have so far ruled out;

EPAS
ABS
the valve from the carbon wotsit that does something with the doohickey and makes the world wonderful
the very useful secure coin storage, designed specifially for the 1953 half-crown
Glasses holder
a bit under the ash tray that a screw goes into or something like that
Top of the throttle pedal and ...
a dead body

:-?
