A massive bird, like a peacock or something.....

It went under me Cup but as it came out, so did a large piece of rectangular plasic, with a few holes and things in it.

I dont have a picture cos I was doing about 50 odd....but does anyone have ideas what it might be....its definately from the underside of the car.

Is it just the guard under the engine?

That sounds reasonable. Gonna check for any drips or leaks at lunch, and put it on a ramp tonight at home, just to be safe...

Turns out the bird was a female pheasant. Big b*****d.

They are under £20 from Renault.
