you should have tow eyes at the rear and front these are normally welded in place, might be different on the 4x4's as they tend to be a bit stronger but they should still be one on the rear if the front has been removed

iirc the one on my mav was below the bumper so wouldnt have thought it would have got in the way of oil cooler

Welcome back to Ireland Mr and Mrs 4wheel. Snow must have followed you over. A bit more of it would be nice though.

Had some in Harwich earlier today, at the precise moment I decided to go and take the locks off the maverick.

Today's tip, do not run your fingers under the hot tap when they're frozen numb - it bloody hurts !
