do you think it could have just fallen off or perhaps from something else or somebody else's car? seems a bit weird that a spare could fall off onto the floor?

Dont Drive it that is the clip that holds your fluxcapasitator in
There is no wear marks so like Graeme said spare/left over
RoverLord
looks almost the right size to be a UJ clip.
Check them all.

thanks - what is a UJ clip?
RoverLord
the flexable joints in a propshaft have Univeral Joints on them (UJ's) each UJ has 4 circlips in it holding it in place, If you have on that has not been inserted correctly when they come out they a usually unmarked.
ON the few circlips I have seen incorrectly installed and not home in its groove most of them are of the type of circlip that you have there, It usually happens because of the length of the pins on the pliers used to insert them.

Thanks Dave
So would it still be ok to drive? am thinking it would be a 5 min job at an LR specialist? can you get by with only 3 clips? i assume if its in a housing it would still look pretty newish?
RoverLord
no, its bloody dangerous to drive with it missing...
usually when the clip comes out because it wasnt installed properly its because the UJ bearing cup has given it a little nudge if thats happened you are running the risk of having a propshaft related event that would probably wind up in the book starting with the phrase
"well it was entertaining buut"

Was it on the floor at the back or front of car?
Got a tourch ? if it was the back you can check these if its the front you will have to remove bash plate to see/feel
Blknight is right it would not be a good idea to drive, if it is a uni clip
What dia. is it because its about 250mm on my screen?
