Hi, my daughter picked up her new 2001Y Focus 1.8 diesel the other day. I've just had a good look around the engine bay to familiarize myself with it, and I noticed this cable attachment point, which has has the cable cut off at some point. Does anyone know what it was and if i should reconnect it?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
