Little tip for those with DC or PU variants that I found, place a bit of foam between the wheel and the round black retainer thingy to stop it rattling and squeaking through the back of the cab... Was driving me mad trying to figure out what it was until I did this Mr. Green Pete

Another tip is not to tighten the wheel nut too much as it pushes the inside edge of the tyre wall onto the lip of the bulkhead and over time it wil leave an indent in the tyre wall.

Short update:

Took the 110 to the guys at RK Automotive (seems like a real nice guy and good setup). They are completing a full service which sounds like it was long over due.

ABS investigations are still ongoing but could be down to the fact that water was found in the front RH swivel and shorting out the sensor. Will have a better idea tomorrow when they get to work on it a little more.

Fingers crossed there is not too much else wrong!

Out of curiosity: Would a worn non sealed swivel be an MOT failure? Mine was MOT'd just before I picked it up by the seller and now I have my doubts as to is validity!!!

Rattle chasing
I have been looking for a rattle for a couple of days and think I have now found the issue. The wolf canopy is not correctly fitted! It is loose at the front as no fixings are present.

Anyone got any pictures of fixings used to secure canopies?

Great looking machine and obviously the best variant. Whistle
As for the spare wheel, looks like you have a Patriot rack fitted and they do a carrier
that marries up to the rack perfectly. I got mine from MSS for about £90.
