2006 lc3 o/side wheel arch there is a series of louvres to front area, more or less behind bumper. While inflating tyres I squinted in there and spotted a rectangular piece of metal on a bracket that was very rusty. I poked it with a screwdriver and a large piece fell off in bits, still leaving behind a solid piece that is flat on that side and very smooth. It seems as if the whole arrangement has a specific design with the louvres slanting upwards, to catch water off the tyre and sling it right inside to whatever it is I poked.
I couldn't see any wiring, could it be a sensor of some sort for icey conditions? This is o/side only, nothing on n/side. Thanks.
