I know, my XJ looks far too pampered compared to other 4x4s when I park near them

Narp.

Do you know any good lanes near Northampton?

Being my daily and not wanting to break anything, I would not want to be rock-crawling or mud-bogging but a little mud and some sliding is all good!

I'm too lazy to rotate tyres but yours are certainly holding up well . . . I normally get about 25000-35000 outta mine but my driving is 80% motorway.

You're the least lazy person I know..

Nice fix . . . :up:

Although it looks like your rear exhaust hanger clamp has gone south, too . . . :P

Well spotted and you're right, it has, but, it is still held securely, so, as I understand it should not effect the MOT..

Stop it  :P

Do you think it will fail like that? My understanding is that if the item is securely fixed, or, there is movement within reason, it will pass.

Otherwise, I will have to also do the anti-roll-bar bushes, AGAIN, becuase the ones I have put on have desintegrated and are cracked again. I only installed them, last year I think?! :rasp:

The roll bar is solid though, no movement in it. :chiny:

Shit quality parts   :rtfm:  :rolleyes:

I'll just order another clamp, it is an easy job that is not worth failing on.
