Hi All,

Well here is the Cherokee Seems I should have checked better as it does not have all the test certificates so he lied and I am getting a second opinion of the legality of it's current test certificate as I found a small rust hole in the nearside (left) sill whilst washing it. They claim it's not an MOT failure but I think it is and so does an MOT tester I goit to look at it. So I will phone the garage I use for our tests and get them to take a look. Also I discovered yesterday that the Air Cleaner is missing and so is the battery clamp. The unrestrained battery is also a failure on the test I think you will find.







Now it starts on the button and drives fine however i do have this strange noise it sounds like it from the rear and it's like rubber which is rubbing against something and only happens once it's warm. Driving slowly it really shows up I have put my hands on the rear brake drums after a 40 mile drive and they are cool as is the axle tubes. The diff is warm and I checked hte oil level in it and it's OK. The transfer box is too hot to put your hand on as is the auto box which I would assume is normal?.

Now the car has been standing for some time and the leaf springs have a coating of surface rust as does the exhaust. The plan is to brush off the loose rust on the exhaust and paint it with exhaust paint to protect it some. I sprayed the springs and rubbers with WD40 but have not been out in the car since as I wonder if their dry and causing the squeaking groaning noise but what puzzles me is that if I bounce on the springs it's quiet Any thoughts?
