Title: Another Omega MOT Pass
Post by: Lizzie Zoom on 02 February 2022, 19:35:23

My Omega passed again the MOT. :y

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! :D

Thanks all :y :y

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 :y

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

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