A quick game if anyone is interested.

I bought an item from a vauxhall mainstealer today, a small item and it cost me £27!!
I near sh!t myself when told the price.

Can you guess what it may have been?

It is for a C20LET engine
It's fits into an item on the block.
It's required to stop a mess being made

What is it?
