Loose material above NS drive shaft.

when I had the bonnet off I noticed some loose fabric type material just above the nearside drive shaft. Any idea where it should be and how hard to put back? I guess this is some sound proofing material and that a clip(s) has broken.

Cannot see the offside drive shaft as too many components in the way.
 
Not the remains of the noise insulation from under the fibre engine cover?
I didn't notice anything amiss with the cover. If a small bit fell off then it would surely escape from under the car? Perhaps I should see if I can grab it and pull if my hands are small enough and arms long enough. Maybe tomorrow I will put the A2 onto a hard right lock and look via the wheel arch.

I've just looked at the Workshop Manual and it seems it could be the CVJ Protective Cover.

Now it looks like it is only attached at the bottom and relies on stiffness at the top. With age it could well sag.

Perhaps one of our breakers like A2Steve will recognise it and say if it is prone to sagging.
