Yes, it is a painted bolt, which, if it serves the same purpose as the yellow bolts on the undercarriage of a Rolls Royce, it's so the service dept. can tell if you've messed with it or not.

Anyone going in for service soon and can satisfy the curiosity of us RLers and find out what it is?

 

Crap. I've been hoodwinked, gob-smacked, and golly-washed all this time.

 

Must...not... feed...the troll.

Laughing at you all the way from across Atlantic.

 

I found that bit of information extremely useful. It will come in very handy when I am driving with my mother-in-law in the passenger seat!

 

It's a bolt with a painted red tip and a nut that holds something into place. Being in the center console with a little access panel to it,my guess would be it's actually one of the bolts that hold the center console into place. I'm also guessing that it has that rubber underneath to keep it from rattling.

But seriously,I've heard that if you press it,it will make any woman sitting on your passenger seat go crazy and want you right there and then!

 

Its in the right location, with the right rubber grommet and large washer, to be one of the transmission mounting bolts. But I am shocked, shocked to learn that guessing has been going on here.
