Should I have this?restrictor? in the coolant return line?
Doesn't look stock, doesn't show up on RealOEM. Does it serve any function?

Is your car an R50? That may be a bleeder for the the coolant. I think I recall seeing that the R50 has a bleeder in that location in the Bentley manual.

No that is for sure 100% not factory, nor are any of those clamps so someone has been in there changing things up.
