Hi,

Last MOT on my 2002 110 TD5 CSW popped up an advisory for corrosion on the rear crossmember. As is usual this throws up a number of dilemmas...

Standard crossmember replacement vs galvanised crossmember replacement vs go all in for full new galvanised chassis (have already had some patch welding done so it may be struggling).

Also, If I go down the route of full chassis replacement is it worth doing clutch at the same time - am on the original at 143k and though there’s a bit of noise from the release bearing it otherwise seems to be doing it’s job ok but inevitably it will go at some point probably sooner rather than later....

Any thoughts or ideas?

Cheers,

Robert
