Driving along in my 58 plate 1.9 TDi, suddenly there was a noise like something heavy was falling through the engine bay, then what seemed like bouncing around the wheel arch (I could have ran over it).

I stopped, walked back and picked up a warm engine (I think) part from the middle of the road.

Can you identify it?

Many thanks for your reply. I popped the car into my local centre and yep - you are absolutely right. A new compressor unit was fitted yesterday - all under warranty. Al is well with the world

Thx again.
