Rust repair
« on: 27 July 2016, 10:55:53 »
So I was sorting out the rear brakes on the 2.5 Estate after an MOT failure and made the mistake of poking around while I was there. No mention of corrosion on the MOT failure, but now I have this:

Clearly some welding required, which is beyond me. I assume the solution is to cut out remaining corrosion and have a new section welded in. Can anyone give me an idea of what I should be paying before I start looking around for someone to do the work?

Many thanks

Steve

Chopping that back to good metal and welding a plate over it? 30minutes and a fiver for the steel.


If you think it looks bad in the photo, don't let anyone remove the plastic sill cover!

Thanks Nick, so shouldn't be prohibitive to keeping on the road for another year  :y

Was that code for take the sill covers off and check the whole sill is not rust before bothering with this?
