HI everyone, hoping someone may know what this wire is for.

Took it to mechanic a while back, normal service, but also suspension and steering gear replacement too. Mechanic has since ceased trading due to health issues.

Car has been running fine, but when I opened up bonnet, found this. Haynes book sheds no light. I'm going to take engine cover off to have a better look. Any pointers appreciated, thank you for reading!

I assume you mean the wire/ring-terminal just to the right of the washer bottle?  Most likely a ground, when my wagon re-appears this weekend I'll confirm

Yep, ground wire for the head, the ring terminal goes on the rear-most bolt of the power steering reservoir bracket (which would make sense, since you said the steering gear has been replaced)

Upon first glance,  it's a ground wire because those black wires with a circular connector are usually ones where it can and should to bolted to something. Looks like your mechanic missed this somehow.

Looks like the earth wire that goes onto the bolt that hold the power steering reservoir bracket.
