Hi Roger Its the front damper retaining bolt that keeps snapping, not the damper itself. I've checked the damper and it's functioning correctly. You can see the bolt in the photo above.

Thanks Damien. The damper appears to be working correctly. Since the new front damper bolt was fitted the whole towbar/damper assembly is now quite rigid. I can't see any other signs of damage to the metal work and I've checked all the way along to the axle. I've attached a photo of the bolt...

Hi all. There must be a slight leak in the sealant at the from corner of my Heki rooflight as we are getting a bit of water in when it rains hard, which is dripping down through the grills along the front edge. I plan to take out the outer sealant for a few mms with a pick tool and replace it...
