    what is this?

    what is the thing that lives under the passenger front guard... its some sort of vacuum motor thing I think...has a hose that connects to the firewall...

    thought it might be central locking related but searching google most info seems to say the pump for the central locking is in the boot...

    what is this?

    It's a charcoal/carbon/fuel canister.

    Just takes the fuel fumes and filters them.
