Loose wire, what's it for?
Hi all,
I just cleaned my V50 2.0 and found this wire under the hood. I did recently purchase this car, and have not seen this before. It was just tucked away a little. What is it? :O I hope someone can help. Thanks! /Tomas |

It's a earthing / grounding wire, not sure what the other end is meant to be attached to though!

I was feeling in a helpful mood so decided to go and check my car.
It's from ground (car body) to one of the push on things for the engine cover, here's a photo from my car (same engine 2.0 petrol):

Maybe someone pulled the engine cover off too forcefully in the past and it pulled off the plastic push on thing and the ground wire came off with it too?
