I am sorry if you seem confused, but in essence what I am saying is that the rust as been accumulating over the years which was never picked up at the MOTI'm confused now
I thought it was a bit dear too, but I will let them do the work and I won't use them again, the only thing that is different than a dealership is they only charge £70 labour whereas Land Rover it is £125
Yes it does, all the paint will be done after the welding, which could be the reason for the high cost, we will see
Think you will find a Main Stealer will not touch your car with a barge pole,it's too old and they certainly won't do any welding,they may farm it out and put a hefty mark up on the price.
This is the weird bit, he told me it had failed, because of this corrosion. When I checked the GOV website the MOT is still active, so was it tested or not.
I would check that,I was led to believe that if a car fails the MOT then any time left on the old certificate is voided.
It would appear from reading this, that it is up to the tester to interpret the regulations, it could be that one tester will pass it, another might not.
This is true, but they have put it on the website that it has failed, otherwise nobody would know.
Ah! they might, if it was in their interest, like they would do the gearbox for £550+vat, I said no thanks
Until the car is involved in an accident.
Even then, if it is still live on the database, how could you tell, anyway hopefully this time next week all sorted, I hope
This is the point, the MOT is still active and not been updated as failed.
Ahem how did it get to the crash with no wheels, or was it parked at the time, but I get your point.
