Cooling flap?

that little bit that sticks up - looks like a small hole in it...for the cable to pull it open?

Hi Em, the bit sticking up hasn't got a hole in, it's a bolt, holding on a bit of metal which has rusted/torn away from whatever it was attached to, which you would think would be easy to find... but no joy yet.

Looks like its from the back of engine on LH side, opposite bit that looks the same with cut out for fuel pump. Mines been missing pretty much since i had my van. It did have a chopped up roses tin which promptly fell off somewhen shortly after i got it on the road.

We had this nasty B.....d at work who needed something to worry about other than upsetting his colegues. So I dreamed up this idea that each day I would discretely squirt a tablespoon of dirty engine oil under his engine on my way into work. Never actually got round to it in the end. Not infering that you are anything other than a likeable decent upright citizen but you haven't upset someone with access to rusty old car/van looking junk have you?
