So I found something odd under a car - ideas?
Discussion
I was helping someone change a starter on a Ford Galaxy (57 plate - TDCI) when I asked me what I thought this was.
I thought her was testing my amazingly limited mechanical knowledge - I had no idea, of course, and so but it transpires he had no idea either ;0

It's bolted to the shell crossmember behind the engine - NOTHING is connected to it, e.g. no power, hoses, pipes etc.
Made of steel - sounds hollow - 4 screws at the end open it but we didn't because things to do and homes to go to - but I'm still curious...

Aha - I knew PH would come through!!!
Awesome stuff, fascinating to know - thanks!
p.s. ironically, my other job was working on an Insignia, once I was done I was clearing-up tools and I could hear a weird noise - I thought it was the radio but the closer I got to the bonnet of the Insignia, the louder it got.
As far as I could tell, the engine idling was making the 2 layers of the bonnet skin 'sing' - pretty annoying (bonnet had been painted, my guess is that sound deadening hadn't been refitting properly?)
Diesels eh...
