Mounting bar down at the left, towball offset to the right.
I may be wrong, so I'll say no more.
It seems fine in person, I don't use it and when I find a rear bumper that hasn't been used with a tow bar I'll be taking it off!

Rocker cover gasket replaced and manifold given a light coating of silver.

Wasn't too difficult to do, just needed a push and a bit of confidence

And the manifold lightly painted

After I put it all back together I noticed dripping coming from near the lower mount next to the subframe, the readout was telling me to STOP IMMEDIATELY COOLANT LEVEL LOW

After some frantic texting to Paul I climbed right under the car and started feeling round up the back of the engine,

I came across a jubilee clip that was rattling round, tightened it up and that seemed to cure the problem.
