Part found under the front carpets - what is it?

Hi all

While routing the GPS cable under the front passenger seat in the landy, I found this metal part under the carpets. Anyone know what it is/does, and whether I should be worried or not?

Sorry Naks..................

I've no idea what it is does look like it's had a bashing. Can't think of anything internal where that could have come from. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Really looks like a valve seat out of a gate valve, but why that would be in the car I don't know, does it split by levering just under that top rim with a sharp screwdriver Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Not sure, haven't tried. Most likely explanation is that someone working on the car left it there by mistake. Maybe even from the factory

Never seen that before. Why would it be under the carpet? Was it just loose?

Maybe something fell off the production line

Clutch release bearing, perhaps?
Intresting if it is as it should be in the bell housing and not under the carpets

NB: the truck would not be going if the release bearing is not in place!! JLS

Looks well used/worn, so it's probably something that was used in the assembly of your car and got left there accidently. Someone at the factory is cursing

Must have made a hell of a bulge under the carpet. That must be 2" across. Never seen one maybe someone in solihull lost a bespoke trim tool
