          Its the engine speed or crank position sensor, goes in a little hole against the flywheel bro.

              It's one of the timing sensors. Should be mounted in the same alloy block as the other one and secured by a bolt.

                  Think you got 3 in that picture?

                  I'd say one has been replaced and the old un not pulled out, wheres the other end connected to?

                              As I said above it should go in the same alloy block as the other one. Perhaps this pic should help. As you can see they sit side by side. One is raised up slightly.
                              I think I can just make out the bolt thread on the other side of the alloy block.

                                  Depending on the colour of the other end (grey or black) its either the engine speed sensor or the crank position sensor. See the URL for more details:

                                      This is for the 7A engine. ABY guys will have to point you exactly.

                                      Probably didn't get pulled out cos it goes through a plastic pipe, fiddly to do but not hard!

                                      Bet the other end is flopping 'bout too!

                                          Definately a spare. The top picture shows 2 sensors in place and the offending dangler.

                                              I guess the person that left it there didn't have a pair of wire cutters.

                                                  Didn't get a chance over the weekend but car runs fine so is probably one that has been replaced at some point in the past and i've just never noticed...
