About 3cm across and 1.8cm deep.

Not a valve.

is the disc in the centre metal or plastic, hard to tell if it's textured plastic or pitted metal. I can see the surround is plastic, does the centre move within the surround?

There's something familiar about it, some sort of cover cap or blanking plate ..... grrrrr

It's actually a new one (sealed and good brand) and like you I thought the finish was a little off.

The 'disc' is metal and will turn under thumb pressure... not a cap or blank.

I was going to show you a photo of the reverse side as it's noticibly different, but I can't find the thing anywhere... set it down and it's evaporated

Instead, by way of your 24 hour clue - it's situated in the engine bay area of the car.

Is it engine based, or engine bay based.
i.e. is it on some engines and not others?

Wouldn't like to commit and say it's from some types of MK2 and not others as I don't know - I got it for an 8v PB

It's an internal part.

Is the whole thing fitted?
Or is the plastic part something to just hold it together in transport?

As far as I'm aware that's how it's fitted... sly_gti knows what it is, without giving to much away he could maybe confirm that.

Found it... intentionally took this piccie of the reverse side a little bit further back. Didn't want to make it too easy and you see any numbers etc., but didn't plan it to be just so blurry, sorry.

Whole thing is fitted, though I've never actually replaced one

Check out the list of original equipment manufacturers I'm compiling - will give you an idea of the areas I've been working in - one in particular is very relevant.
