    Disco 3 (LR3) Mot fail

    Tried a dry fit of inner and outer, they meet quite well right height equally spaced, centre cill bridges gap, but outer showed a gap where it was impacted quite a bit of work straightening but probably worst bit, using a string line lever bar and blocks of wood to tease out top Going well...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Mot fail

    Most of rot was caused by damage to outer cill but they all suffer at ends of cill all the bits behind plastic that catch mud, I suppose the answer might be to treat all these areas, structurally only removing lip of cill so not an issue also behind centre mount, little is better but had to...

    What you think have cut out damaged outer cill inner cills are rust free, put camera inside no rust or outside or end, don't really want to cut into good factory metal, so have suggested a joggled joint at white line on outer cill at stiffener, this leaves, undisturbed metal at body mount and...
