Default Rear Sills Repair.

Today i removed the rear subframe ready to add the new one, while i was doing that i checked out the orange dreaded mark on the NS sill which i noticed when i changed the rear spring a few weeks back.

A little prodding and yes for sure it's got the tin worm starting not gone far so hopefully caught it in time.

Scraped along the sill as you can see from the mark, the rust seems to be local to one area.

I have just ordered Tom's sill for the NS and have contacted a mobile welder, fingers crossed he's going to be good to fit this sill.

That looks nasty.

The repair panel looks like a nicely made item, though. Bookmarked for future reference.

I need to find some similar repair panels for my other half's Rover 25 - had advisory on both sills on last MoT.

I Have contacted a mobile welder, (Paul) whom assures me he can weld the sill in just like Tom as, so fingers crossed for the 18th July when he is turning up to proceed, i will of cause document the process cheers Arctic.

Hi Dawn.
Long time no hear or see, i know and was really pleased when he got in touch with to say he will sort it out for me in September date still to be arranged.

I have patched it up over the jacking area since, i have a feeling i might need the jacking point doing as well.

Hi Ron.
Craftmanship you can see that, don't think the mobile welder i had in mind would have been able to produce the work above.

Default Aww snap

Yeah snap got same with Nigel on the o/s rear, already got the plate from Tom but he never messaged back about possibly fitting it might chase that up but there is a place down the road i need to check out first.



How bad do these get before MOT is refused? I dont normally do hope but wondering if might get lucky this time really need to get it welded in. Watching with interest anyhow.
