Pyramid shaped black object

Hawkeye · 14th November 2006, 20:31

Hi, again. Not an important question and possibly a stupid one, but does anyone know what the pyramid shaped black object (approx 40mm x 30mm) does which sits between the 2 front air vents (for the front windscreen) on top of the dash board. Some sort of sensor, or part of the alarm system ? Been meaning to ask the question for some time now but never got round to it. 75 1.8 petrol Conn face lift model.

Thanks

Kev

It's the sunlight sensor for the atc. Was round on the original cars - didn't realise it had gone pyramid.

I think it's part of the ATC system. Sunlight sensor or heat sensor, John

We are going to have to do something with the accoustics in here I think, for all the Echoes Echoes Echoes :lol:

Yes but how many other places can you go to and get so many right answers?

Cheers for that. Something else I've learnt.

I think you are all wrong

It is a Toblerone and it has been there so long it has fossilised

Well, in that case mine has melted somewhat. Looks more like an oversized Cadbury's Milk Button.

Or maybe its the remains of a Malteser that has had it's inside honeycomb sucked out by a very tiny straw...

...the posibilities are endless
