It certainly makes sense with regards to future-proofing it but I guess the main reason from the factory would be £ out of their pocket. Plus you don't want to fix a problem forever because you're not going to make money then. Certainly something worth looking at as a long-term solution. I bought a top hose that seems to have a much thicker plastic piece for the t-piece but it's like they've plastic welded it into place. So as this is only going to be temporary, until at least spring next year, then it'll doat. Only cost £15.

Had to put fuel in for the first time in many months as I had to go long distance,36miles return journey to drop off our Day2 tests . Cruising down the M56,at 80 before I realized,that new exhaust made such a difference to the noise level.luckily I wasn't going far and had backed off for the exit as a police X5 pulled along side at the top of the slip road.

I think I had backed off well before as he never showed any interest, unless it was trough time.

Bet they had a chuckle.I had a 'nearly' on my bike a while back now.

That's why I said many years ago, before the 56 mph limiters and the other clue was 38 ton,the last time I drove one in 1996 it was 44.
Sorry my mistake I never said many years ago.

Tell me there are axle stands or similar under the chassis legs?
