Is this nut from my Berlingo?

[Cindycs]

Hello all,

I recently found this massive nut just where I park my Berlingo outside my house. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on what it has come from! It's got XC 4.8 on its face.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't expect it to be from the Berlingo.

1/ The bolt has no shank which would imply non automotive useage.
2/ It is made from a low to medium carbon steel ( 4.8 grade ) so not for use in any high strength area which also counters against automotive use.

If I'd found it under my vehicle I'd dismiss it and have a good nights sleep.

P.S It looks like a 12 mm metric bolt with a 19 mm hex head and this is also counters automotive use.

Technically speaking that's a machine screw as it doesn't have a shank Cindy If it wasn't accompanied by a pool of oil I would not worry about it

Thanks - not sure what a shank is but sounds like it's not from my Berlingo then!
