Hi, Please please could I have some advice. My 96 110 - love of my life is about to fail its MOT- I have been quoted by a landy repair garage £700 to £800 for welding in a new rear cross member. Does this seem like I am being taken for a ride???

Cheers
Liz

Don't smoke and never drink more than 1 or 2 cuppa's a day, I probably survive on an average of 1 pint of fluids per day.
