Arctic, my sills were in worse condition than that and I also had a nasty dent, which as it turns out, had made the problem a lot worse on one side, taken out. The shop I've taken the car to does both metalwork and painting and while certainly more expensive, is highly trustworthy. He's also fairly local, which is easier for me. Thanks anyway to you both!

I took my FL 2 for it's mot at 11.30 am today passed again no advisories nine in a row now and no advisories well chuffed.
I did mention the MGZT and how the sill had corrosion round the jacking point, he did no seem concerned, then went on to state because it is not in an area classed as dangerous ie the suspension, seat anchor area & so on he said it would not be a fail.

I have painted all of the inner surfaces with Bondaprimer and chassis paint, and when the painting is finished, I will blast Dinitrol 3125 into all the enclosed sill sections. Pete |

Afternoon,
It is interesting to note that one MOT inspector has a different view to another as my 75 failed the MOT on the corroded sill. Never mind it needed to be repaired. |

Yes I was quite surprised when he stated it to me, and he a MOT tester that is thorough, he also lets you stand next to the car while he is testing it, there is a viewing lane in which you stand behind a barrier. I think I will still take it down to the garage where he tests and get him to have a look in real life, see if his mind changes

Another happy customer

Saw Tom on Monday after reading about him here and having been told about him by Phil (thanks). He is a really nice guy (as his dad who was also around) and did a fabulous job rebuilding the rear end of the drivers side sill which had corroded. Highly recommended! |

The repair as to be a continuous weld, for it to pass a MOT.

I reckon it is in the manufacture and design. My tourer has never been used in winter, sits in the garage from November till end of March. Hole in the sill on one side discovered at MOT a few weeks ago, other side solid. Same sill, same place seems to be a theme. Almost new when I bought it, only used for pleasure in nice weather. Chap who welded it said the inside of the sills have a good coat of Waxoil, so if it is going to go it is going to go.
