Title: Unknown part found!
Post by DJWerkz on Jul 23^rd, 2005, 1:19am

While installing the engine today my brother in law found a silver plastic part near the headlight which we have been unable to identify.

Could someone help us determine whether this is a required Scorpio part or just a alien wigget that has found itself in the engine bay?

If someone could also explain how we insert pictures of such items into our postings that would be great too ;)

could it have something to do with the headlamp washers, or if it was in the left hand side, passenger headlamp i would be looking at the AC system, with the white plastic parts on it I would guess water/Ac not fuel. The AC dryer and regulator are located on the passenger side headlamp, under the black plastic shiels.

i would also guess snoopy is scanning the catalogues now as we speak.

This is an..... Yes... Its an UWO....!!!

Unidentified Wierd Object...

Hehe... Sorry, but i cant say ive ever seen something like this in a car...
Pic number 2 shows a black rubber sealing... (remember im from norway, (bad eng.))
So it cant be an rotating/mecanical part...

The metallic part is CLEAN in the "slices"...
so it may have been part of somethin bigger...

My first hounest thought was a part for an wachingmachine...
So i guess its alien... But i may be wrong ofcource...
anyone whome have spent days in the scorps engineroom.? say something..!! ;D

If it was something off your car, i would imagine it would have either a Ford logo stamped into it or a part number embosed into it.

Doesn't appear to have them, so i would put it in file 13......... the bin! ;D
