I think it is a carbon filter - possibly early emissions stuff?

Cheers, but not sure it is, Carbon canister fitted to those vehicles with a cat which mine doesn't have.

Thanks for your replies,

Yes, it seems to be part of the aircon system which is not working at present, I assume it will be ok to seal off the vac hose to stop an air leak?
