Hymer 2001 b584 2.8
Whilst investigating a kluncking sound when engaging the clutch,? I found this thing (see attached) it's on the nearside above the strut and is sorta flexible.
Any ideas?

Looks like someone has lost a folding knife and not recovered it.

Looks like an old torch with a magnetic base that someone has left under your van, give it a tug and it should come off.

Or a torch ..? So what were they looking for or trying to fix?

It’s got a cover on it held on by screws; how have you managed to resist taking the cover off?

Looks like an inspection lamp that a mechanic would use. Must have been left and become lodged

Mechanics torch

It looks like and ebike battery to me, but probably not.

Presumably attached by magnets? How long has it been there?

Thanks guys, I'll pull it off then, don't know how long it's been there, any ideas about the clunking sound when I change gear, it happens when I re-engage the clutch
