    Finally got around to painting and refitting skirts now the car looks finished.
    While I was underneath I noticed a bit of play at the manifold/exhaust pipe junction hopefully the bolts aren’t frozen, also the Speedo has a habit of running itself off the dial after 50mph and staying there until it’s ready to work again.
    Fairly exciting the first time it happened as I was going down hill.

    After refitting my skirts years ago I went for a drive in our forest of Stringies & a bent fallen branch got in the way which I drove over which kicked the end upwards which badly dinged the skirt. Was repaired & replaced. They do not appear to have any real function other than to make the Fuel Tank(s) look beautiful. Yeah right. Mil vehicles seem to do without them just fine.

    4bee I hear what you are saying they had certainly been knocked around and needed a lot of straightening

    In my other vehicle with no skirts the droopy bit behind the rear wheels had been cut off, it was ex military
    Maybe LR saw the light when they reduced the width of skirts in later vehicles

    Their money would have been better spent in placing a Hot Dipped Galvanised Steel Guard around the fuel tank (s) to reduce trapped moisture (which they seem plagued with) & shunts like my one.
