whatever
how does the footwells fail/get a advisory? my tester said it has a separate chassis so not bothered ,even though i have now fixed mine to stop the pup falling through
I thaught same but still got them professionally cut out and plated months ago then they still advised it as corroded and it is not. The other annoying thing I'd they must have smoke checked it with a cold engine as it takes a good 10 mins on the motorway to get up to temperature and it I'd running on bio with practically no smoke at running temperature. Also the exhaust is months old with new rubbers when it was fitted and the rubbers failed and exhaust advised as corroded!

£610 is pretty cheap as there's a fair bit of labour involved in welding the chassis up (ask me how I know) I take it you're not up to doing it yourself?
just about cheaper to re chassis. 2 years or so and it will be another big chuck of money

Where can you get a re-chassis for £610?
you see where in a couple years and another 600-700. and You still got a thin chassis. It will be never ending chassis repair

Your a bloody idiot. A chassis is £1000 - £1300 BEFORE labour and other parts. You don't half pedal some ****.
Look at Pikey he chased/fought rusty chassis for how long? Repaires will never end. New chassis and forget about it for 20 years or more. Money well spent, cheaper in the long run
I agree he is fixing all the other stuff as well as the welding too and he has allready spent the morning on it repairing the spring mount. Im happy he is doing it as he has had a few landrovers too. I bet that would be nearly half the price at some places just for the spring mount fixing. And no iv not welded before - thaught bout it but think it's best left to a professional welder. Especially when I have my girlfriend/kids in the back!

Don't hold back there mate, tell it like it is
Although you only said what I was thinkingI did my own eighteen months ago for the price of 4 spring hangers a square metre of steel. Saving up for a galv chassis though but I'd expect me current chassis to easily last a good couple of years
I'll just say a place in Bradford but to be fair they probably did me a favour finding the rot early!
got rid of it did he not?
he find a used on then?
Yes and posted about it

you suggested that it owuld be cheaper than £610 to re-chassis it. Might be cheaper in the long run but not everyone has the cash to bung into a re-chassis.
Your just an internet know-it-all. A boring one at that.
