    MOT fail

    Spot on that, Nothing ****es me of more than a motor that comes in for test and the lights are out and it says so on the dash and/or its full of crap/ looks like they are living in the thing

    its not crap but it did bend far too easy imo when i dropped off a ledge and the os corner lifted about 100mm as and when i can be arsed I will mod it/ strengthen it up a bit wit a bit of box off the chassis to the ends of the bumper
  12. Matt Baxter

    Discovery Rust - Boot, Sills and Wings

    5mm plate, but the problem is the mounting points are too far into the centre of the chassis doing it in box really won't be much stronger if at all, it needs bracing further out towards the ends all in imho

    Well matey didn't take my offer, so looks like I'll be getting a bender, notcher and a load of tubing, size wise I think it'll be around 50mm need to have a proper measure up to see if I can get away with 3 lengths(22.5mtrs) it will be bolted/clamped to my sliders to make my life easier
