It was the linkage where it met the rod to the top of the gearbox. Uprated ones being fitted, both as a precaution.

I have to avoid ferries with a splitter that is wearing away rapidly and finds speed bumps a great challenge.

You will like apple cross, I went over the hill and came back the coast road. Applecross Inn was great for seafood.
