Freelander 2 (LR2) Small stray hose

Just removed the battery cover on my 2010 FL2 (old model), to check battery and noticed a small diameter black ribbed pipe with a 90 degree elbow at the end which is not connected to anything at the elbow. The pipe emerges from the inner wing through a grommet near the earth strap and was loose behind the battery.

i can't see anything obvious within range for this to connect to. With the engine running I can't feel any suck or blow from the elbow on the back of my hand.

Looking through the Haynes manual I can't find any photos of this pipe. Any idea what it is or what it should connect to?

Thanks

Robin

HI Robin fl2 have just checked mine and it doesn`t have one, it could possibly be a vent pipe from a previous battery.
I found a similar one in the bottom of the battery tray when I changed the battery. but somebody might come on later
to prove me wrong as usual lol.

It'll be the battery vent. It goes into the small hole on the end of the battery.
