Excellent you have just aquired a free breaker bar from a socket set, well done you can deduct £10 from the price of your radiator.

Or you can be a saint and go give it back to the garage...

Its a socket bar, someone left it there after previous work. Consider it a free gift!

Funny answers!

I'm more concerned with the damage it COULD have done, catching in my radiator fan??

It seems like this is a luckdip you get free with these cars (or is it that Rover/MG did away with the tool kit and turned it into a game of seek and find).

My free gift was a socket set 200mm long extension bar lying on the undertray. Comes in very handy.

Its been in there for a year and I assume your car has been okay since then, you have the grill off so you can visualy check rad/fan. I cant see that there is anything to worry about.

the chap who looked at my exhaust left a high powered LED rechargeable touch above my exhaust back box! I noticed 2 days later when the exhaust was illuminated at night!

Several members have found one of these secreted in the plenum following a garage job.

It's plastic and the drawing is more or less actual size. Anyone guess what it is?
