Default Mystery gizmo uncovered
This thing is on the front of my mate's car, just behind the grille. The pitot tubes face forward. Does anyone know what it is meant to do?


Under the dash there is a unit with an on/off switch and a volume control, which buzzes when you switch it on!

Thanks M4D, silly me never thought of doing that. At least I can remove it and the car should still start then!
