    Seen this mini on my beat a few times and its puzzling me what this is on the bonnet scoop.
    Any ideas? Been looking out for the owner so I can ask but never there when I go past.

    Unfortunately there appears to be a problem with the photos you’ve posted ...

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Pretty sure its a turbo not SC so no top mount IC. Just can't work it out. Car is in Bathgate in case it turns out to be someone on here. They've recently had chrome spotlights fitted to the grill as well.

    Photobucket no longer allows you to share photos unless you pay. I can’t see your photos either. I would suggest the likes of Flickr

    Could it be an electrical connector for a battery trickle charger ?

    Can't see the pic as stated above but assuming it's an R53 we're talking about it's not a battery conditioner connector as that would be on the battery itself in the boot.

    Deer whistle maybe? Those of us who live rural have them

    - - - Updated - - -

    Seen the pic now - does look a bit like a charger connector but would be madness IMO to have those cables strung across the top of a hot engine. I've got CTEK connectors on 3 cars and I'd have the cable coming up where the tax disc used to be. The cables aren't that long.

    I'd guess deer whistle


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    I think you might be right about the deer whistle. It looks exactly like this

    Think it is, we used to have them on our cars, but not in that position. Never knew if it worked, but we didn't ever run into a deer!!
