Hey guys, long time lurker and first time poster. Learned many things from this website.

Anyways tried search but cant find it but what am I missing on the top right of my engine bay? (clip sticking out)


I've seen other stock photos where some electronic unit is being held there.

BTW: it's a 2008 Mini Cooper S (Automatic)

 

If you are mean the nut clip on a tab in the center of your picture, that's where the hood switch is mounted if car is equipped with the alarm system.

 

It's a good olace to mount an oil catch can...lol

 

The switch is a push button type for the alarm as Blind Dog said. I have the switch and it is also where I have my OCC mounted. Works perfect for that, just remove the clip and use a bolt and nyloc nut.

 

Mine's the same, nothing there...

 

If you have the MINI alarm system installed stateside, they mount a hood position switch there.

 

How do you have the switch and an OCC installed there?

 

I thought it was where it was supposed to go!

 

Yes,

There is a little mount and switch for the factory US alarm.

Metal mount:



Switch:



Thanks

 

That's where my OCC is mounted.
