    View attachment 17048 Am I missing a disc from the shock ?, looks as though some glue residue on the silver cap, not sure if this should have some sort of cap on there

    People stick circular stickers on the back, orange on repsols etc (explains the glue)

    Wipe some petrol over it that should remove it if it's glue

    At least it's cleared up now! Am guessing someone in the past might have put a sticker on there like Martin said and over time the glue has picked up debris and that's what you've ended up with

    I was thinking more that wasn't the repsols fitted with reversing sensors ?
