| New front tyres on and the slight rumble is still there. Seems to resonate most at 50mph and most noticeable in 5th gear (musically seems to be a perfect fifth in relation to the engine note) but hasn ... |

Passed the magic "snooze" mileage on my commute to work this morning!
I've had it 4-and-a-half years now. Purchased it with around 165k on it back in 2016.
Nothing massive has failed on ... |

Oh yes- I spent much longer than I should have wrestling with the pipe last time I replaced it (less than a year ago!).
