My Omega passed again the MOT.

Just one advisory about rust on the floor pans.  Will be underneath when it is warmer wire brushing them and treated with the magic anti-rust spray!

Result!

Floor pan rust? How bad is that?

Thanks all

According to the tester it is light rust near to the steering box. I will know more once I get underneath the car again to assess what I will have to do.

that will be the inner face of the chassis leg surely
not a floor pan (which are completely sealed at the factory)

I wouldn't be so sure... Could be where the inboard flange of the rail is spot welded to the floor pan. Heat sheilds and Bank 1 precat will partly obscure the area both for full inspection and repair.

Thanks

Until I get under the car when the weather is warmer I will not be absolutely sure what is needed.

At least it is not urgent - yet!

Pass is always good and another worry to put to bed.

Mine had a small rust patch on the inner wheel arch by the steering box.What looked like a small area turned into a much larger job and required NickW to spend 2 days cutting/shaping and welding patches in place.We were worried the steering box mounts were rusted too but managed to repair albeit a temporary fix..2 years later and each MOT passed so all good but dont ignore rust in the inner wing/steering box area and keep fingers crossed is not too far gone...just saying

You'll need to jack the car up very high.

Congrats on the pass.

It could also be an overlooked consequence of your £7,000 front end crash.
