    D2 chassis cracks

    Hi Guys
    For you D2 owners with the factory towbar have a look at your rear crossmember.Each side of mine has a hairline crack in the weld where it meets the main chassis.
    Noticed mine today,another welding job!!!!!Easy enough to get too,will see if I can ignite the plastic fueltank .
