hi,all. i'm new here(and to landrover ownership!lol) just bought a disco 300tdi M reg and the boot floor has a hole in it roughly 5 x 8 inch's at the rear of the boot.i knew about this when i bought it.thing is,should i have it patched or replace the whole thing?the rest of the floor is 95% good with just mild surface rust to a few area's.if it should be replaced,does anyone know any decent company's in or around york that have experience of this kind of wor?i don't think my welding skills stretch to doing the whole floor!
I did the whole floor on pretty much my own with minimal welding experience dude. The hard part is getting the old one out in my opinion.
What i did was drill out the spot welds, take floor out. Drill holes in the new floor and pool weld it to the cross members, replicating the spot welds that are there as standard.
IF the rest of the floor is good. then cut out all the bad metal and patch over it. Dont forget to zinc 182 it after or something equally as protecting

You missed the standard greeting BP, no urine extracted, oh well theres time and will be opportunities in the future.
Welcome to this mad house and don't take it personal
Few choices,
DIY I have a MIG that would cope with a new floor, you buy new floor panel and you can borrow me welder, I'll give you a hand
Couple of garages near me (Huntington) that could do that, if your not confident
PM me a tele number and we can talk
