HELP!!! What is this and do i need it?

This item is sitting next to my air filter housing, it isnt screwed on or mounted, just hangs down. Only 1 of the 3 tubes is connected, as you can see by the photos i hold the other 2 up and show which one is connected.
So, what is it, should they all be connected, and whats its purpose?

Christ i didnt think the photos were that big, sorry........ahem.

i have one too but mines fixed to body dont know what it is but i wouldnot remove it

The part looks a EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) control solenoid.
This would only be installed on certain models with a conventional diesel injection system.

where do the pipes go to

One would go to the EGR valve, on the manifold, last in the series of pictures, as to the others, sorry I dont know, your local land rover dealer service department should be able to help.
