Landy owners- check yer nuts!

Was towing my digger yesterday and thought the dampener must have gone on the trailer as it felt very jerky. I have a Dixon bate towbar fitted and turns out one of the bolts has pull through the rear crossmember and anothe has pulled the anchoring bolt out the bottom too, the two bracing bars had pulled the bolts which goes though the main chassisbrail about 10mm through the steel- visibly I would never have noticed but it's quite a sorry state and reckon another few journeys would have seen the trailer pull the whole thing off.

It was a new rear crossmember 5 years ago but reckon its going to need some either a new one or at least a fair bit of plating to put it right

Got any pictures ?

This is the only photo which shows anything is wrong. And the fact that when you pull the tow bar there is a good inch of movement in the whole Dixon hate/chassis connection. I'm just glad I caught it in time
