Can someone identify this part? I found it on the floor in my garage under my vehicle.

I recently had my 2005 LR3 HSE in for service. They replaced the transmission, transfer case and differential fluids.

Thanks

Looks like a shop "specialty tool" they would use when doing the above work, to hold parts in alignment, etc. Drop it by the dealer and shake the technician's hand.

 

I don't recognize it as part of this vehicle, or see a way that it could have been used to aid in the preformed work.

Do you park any other vehicles in the same spot?

 

That must have been an expensive exercise. How much did that cost you.. And why both at the same time..

 

That is what they use to time the dual overhead flux throwout valves. Only came on the 2005 V8 version. Why you ask? Welllllll it has a long history of when the Conquistadors ruled the at the time land locked England. Once the indigenous Aborigines decided to fight back against the oppressing force of pirates they dug what is now known as the English Channel and North Sea. A lot of people don't know that but I consider myself somewhat of a history buff....

 

The cost was approx. $1300.00 Canadian.

I chose to replace the transmission fluid based on the recommendation from ZF Transmission. Since I was doing the transmission ( the most expensive part ) I opted to have all the fluids changed.

Made a remarkable improvement in how the vehicle drives. I highly recommend it.

 

Would they use this for the transmission service?

Previously they replaced the MASS Filter and Air compressor.

Before that they replaced the camshaft/rocker engine gaskets.

I haven't paid attention to the parking brake apparatus on the LR3, but based upon what I have seen on other vehicles, that is what it looks like.

 

Obviously no one picked up on my humor... I give up.

 

It wasn't lost on all...

But the flux capacitors on this truck are in a place that they won't fall off... also with a little re-wiring I'm pretty sure the truck will transform into a time hopping, steel bodied, 80s sports car.
