| Front axles across the range are all affected, the only reason the 90 wasn't originally recalled was because JLR figured, incorrectly as it turns out, that the lower MAM of the 90 meant the axle would ... |

It is easy to tell visually whether the axle is friction-welded or MIG welded, however there is as far as I know no way at all to tell if it is a good MIG axle or a dangerous MIG axle.
I suggest t ... |

| If you hand-sharpen your chain, rather than machine grind them, the chains will last much much longer too. |

UK MoT test doesn't require OBD access, and in fact the tester isn't allowed to remove any panels or covers during the test (other than bonnet, doors and filler flap).
Your mention of "MOT&quo ... |

It could be put right and made nice! 
Why does it only have one and a half wipers, and half a windscreen pillar on the nearside? Photoshop rodents have been at it! |

I'm glad there are two (they are the same) because the MOT guy damaged one of the flimsy "hinges"  Now I remove it before MOT and they think I'm being courteous

As I thought, an expensive toy with no provenance, but visually appealing and I'll bet a lot of fun (and I imagine quite difficult) to drive.
I'm a little surprised that it managed to retain its 19 ... |

| A curious replica of something, striking but certainly not a "Blower Bentley". Manufactured in 1953 and first registered in 1991 (and currently untaxed). Bet it's fun to drive though! |

| They're probably not necessary on a decatted vehicle but certainly do no harm, and do tend to obfuscate the lack of cat. Catalytic converters do run extremely hot. |

| It looks to me as though a previous owner has removed the catalytic converter and fitted a decat pipe instead. As far as I recall the two setscrews should fit into brackets on the cat. |
