Hi
Just went outside to clean engine and got out socket set to take off engine cover so i could get to the (spider) metal parts with autosol. took one out and the socket set end fell off and into engine  doing my head in trying to find it, got tourch no luck looked on floor no luck and cant hear it on pannel undrneath  was worried it is still in engine so started it and no probs any clues how to get out?? It fell left side of engine as you look at it. Could it cause ant major damage? 
Thanks
Dan

Dan don't worry. It will be lodged somewhere obscure. Worth putting it on ramps and remove the undertray and have a good look around for peace of mind. These things happen. It won't be far away I once dropped a whole pinto engine in the wheelie bin. The bin men were non to happy

could of been worse dan, could of been your first car ( a clio) doing a quick service before setting off down south when a 8mm 1/4 bit bounces off the tray when doing the plugs, yep straight into the cylinder, took ages fishing and turning with a magnetic screwdriver to get out
golden rule, never rest you socket box on the engine
