I found this little rectangular rubber gasket floating in the top of my radiator.
I want to know where it is from!!
(This isn't a trick question!! - I can't figure out how it got in there)

(Before anybody asks, it's not part of the Flux Capacitor as it wasn't fitted to the UK V6 spec version )

It is possibly from some can of rad additive that someone has put in the coolant in the past.

Is it rubber or plastic?
Only plastic warning triangles are put on poisons to identify them to blind people.

It's rubber - even has a lip and a groove - seems to me to be a gasket of some description.

I stand by my previous guess, look at your thermostat housing, in the middle of the timing belt cover, its the same shape.

OK - I'll go with that but how the hell has it ended up at the rad cap - I must have a good flow of coolant!!
