[xj40] Is there something missing?!

This is my first car and I’ve not had it long. I’m no mechanic but
am quickly learning! Anyway to the point, I just noticed something
that seems a bit odd to me, located beneath the distributor. (See
pics - second is a close up) Surely there should be something
attached to this??!!

It looks like it is where they would attach the mounting
bracket for the AC compressor.

Do you have AC?–

John is right.
The A/C compressor goes there. Obviously you don’t have A/C in your
car or someone took it off and forgot to reinstall it.

Thanks guys, that;s good to know. Its never that hot in England
anyway! I was worried it was something more important - especially
as the car is running pretty rough–
