Yes mine’s a 2.4. It’s a problem I can live with, but would be nice to know why it happens. It didn’t when new, maybe started 3 or 4 years ago.
If you notice any difference when you change you ... |

Will this fit under a defender axle with flat tyre? If so, I’ll take it - I’m in Cotswolds so can collect.
