As per topic really. Parked in driveway this evening and spotted this part just sitting on the mat in driver foot well. It's about 1" across. No idea where it's come from, didn't hear or feel anything break during drive!

 

Any help appreciated

I’m still not clear what function this securing ring performs. The bolt screws into the the ‘panel nut threaded insert’ so what is the ‘securing ring’ securing? It’s seemingly not even managing to secure itself never mind anything else in quite a few instances. 
I’m confused. 

 

Hahaha this comment about sums it up it would seem! The chap who designed it must've been on loan from Peugeot.

When I owned my Vrs245 (manual) someone posted a similar comment to you about a white nylon securing bolt and a diagram was posted possibly by @IamGaz IIRC and under the steering column I could see it on my car and I think it is attached to a rod connected to one of the pedals possibly clutch but I can't find the detailed answer given before. Hopefully someone will be able to find the diagram and post it for you.

Yep I spotted the diagram posted in one of the linked threads, cheers Doesn't appear that anyone knows what on Earth it actually does if anything. 

Might be a trip to the dealer part 22 on that blow up diagram securing ring for the clutch pedal. Agree it shouldn't work loose/fall off.
