Check the date on the tyre repair canister. They last 5 years from manufacture. About £30 from Jag, but it'd be nice to have a new one in there.

Shall put f type on my lift and have a good look underneath , looks ok from the video sent and a look with a big lamp but to get right underneath will be great !

If you have access to a lift it would be worth looking at the cross braces anyway. Some cars had them replaced under a campaign at one point, so it could have been one of those.

Probably worth applying some anti corrosion treatment whilst it's up there (ACF50 and Bilt Hamber Corrosion Block are a couple) which will keep these steel parts protected for a good while.

Mick , that is exactly my thought , am just making sure I know where the lift points are to not damage the underneath and then will have a careful look at these areas and apply some suitable liquid treatment if needed !
