I just saw it disappear into the abyss between the engine inlet manifold and the left side of the engine bay. No noise was heard of a bounce, crash landing or rattling to a rest, just a complete Bermuda Triangle event.

Removed the under carriage cover but nothing, can hear nothing rattling or moving around when driving like a racer, it has just vanished like a screw dropped from an electronics workbench!

Any ideas of where to look based on anyone's experience? (and I checked the garage floor)
I have done this too many times, check either the fan housing, or on top of the intercooler, there is a lip they often get lodged behind
