Thadcroft Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Hi everyone, So I’ve just topped up my brake fluid, and I’ve found a ‘Optima’ plastic tag that was just wedged under the bonnet. I did not pull it off anything etc, it was just wedged in there, like it had snapped off something? I’ve attached them below. Would anyone happen to know what this is? And is it something to worry about? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 It's a plastic spreader used for smoothing out filler when vehicles have bodywork repaired. https://www.optimasolution.co.uk/resources/product-catalogue-2021/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Don't think they're intended to be left wedged in the bonnet, even if it is listed as consumable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thadcroft Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Thank you both. It was wedged down near the engine, god knows why it was there. Could suggest bodywork has been repaired, which hasn’t been noted on any MOT’s 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Probably has had a bodywork repair after a minor scrape. There's no reason that should show up on MOT history. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
