That was my guess too but there are no M6 threaded holes to be seen anywhere on the autobox. It did occur to me that it was some kind of wire retainer off the starter but again their seems to be no place it could go and, in any event, the wires are already held with a conventional rubber over metal hoop.

I wondered if it was thrown in out of spite because I wasn't going to wear the shop's outrageous fee. The only evidence I have for that being that there were no M6 bolts or screws that remained unaccounted for.

If it was accidentally included then it may have come off any number of Porsches - the shop comprises ex-Porsche dealer trained staff - though my account of their treatment of me may make that hard to believe.
