is it some form of sensor that over time has been dragging on the road, or against a drive shaft or summat and eventually worn away?

ABS sensor?
Lewis Hamilton said that winning his first race felt better than having sex. Kimi's reply to that was, Maybe he never had sex.

Back of a wheel someplace I'd assume, not saying it is def that mind!

on the back of the wheel you should see a bracket, with a barrell hanging over the abs ring which looks like a cog - lots of teeth

From here, it runs up into the engine bay to some sort of module which is linked to the ABS ecu in the car

If it's not an ABS sensor connector (check in your wheel arches for them) it could be the connector for the oil sump level sensor, that looks very similar.

Were abouts in the bay is this hanging around mate??  Might give a better idea of were it use to be fitted ;)
For example, is it hanging high up in the bay/ from a wheel arch area / from the underneath/
A broken abs sensor would prob explain why the 4x4 is out..
back again with le turbo n050. Loving it!!!

This time copy & paste the IMG code. That way we may actually see the picture here rather than a bloody link!
