Facebook, search MDRS automotive, then search on their page for ingenium.

Sport had 2.2 until 2015 I believe, I have ingenium 2017 timing chains and electrical are the biggest issue with 2.0l so I'm told 2.2 are more expensive hold their value Evoque and sport share many parts Great to drive but not as smooth on...

Fix it properly

Hats off to u mate and can’t thk u enough Is becoming clearer as u progress seeing the pictures, know for a fact I would have got myself in a right mess due to lack of knowledge So pleased it’s in ur capable hands my friend , is that what u...

Hi mate, along as the two joints are nice and tight I always think when it cools it pulls them tighter. Also access to seam weld along top of your cill would also burn off paint for sure many of the joints are only accessible from the outside...

Its coming on mate, made the wheel arch repair out of three pieces so far, small piece of channel to make at bottom, used cardboard templates, then doing repair piece for the centre cill, would have to be the back part were it tapers, inner cill...

Crossed fingers for you mate.

Saga continues been driving around for 500 miles or so no problem, been driving really well, then about three weeks ago it pinged again out of the blue, gearbox sensor range, so decided to bite the bullet and let overland have a diagnostic...

So sorry mate that dent it had before I bought it has caused so much agro Know it would have left me head scratching in what to do Am so pleased it’s in very skilled hands mate , finding it extremely informative of how things go together...

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...

Indeed and am beyond grateful for the help That’s great and hope it helps others in what to look out for , it’s certainly opened my eyes that’s for sure and have a whole new amount of respect for welders in what’s involved Can clearly see the...

This is a great thread to follow along with. People often underestimate rust and just how involved the repairs are. You've been lucky here Gary to find such a helpful lunatic to take this on!

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...

Plus 1 and indeed very interesting to see how it should be done Will be good for future posts when others are having issues of what’s involved in repairing them Plus of course what areas to keep an eye out for as these discovery’s age

@tyregeezer doing some good work there and informative. Nice to see how these motors are built & repaired @gstuart keep the faith…

Omg mate as I must confess I never thought for a second it was that involved Hope ur doing ok and not having to work in this heat I’m so lucky and feel very blessed it’s in such capable hands and can’t even say how grateful I am. , thk u so...

Hi mate Funny anough I had to look up what a joggler was , lol https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/edge-setterjoggler-with-hole-punch/ Indeed bet that’s fun trying to do it manually particularly if the metal is quite thick Hope ur good mate

Hi managed to get end of cill lower wheel arch out today, very rusty will make a new piece maybe in two pieces, but can now get to innercill to release and cut out rust so one more cut and it's going back together hopefully Bit more...

No it was a manual plier type thing, tried it once and once realised how crap it was have never used it since.

Will probably buy a crap air one instead

I would do what is easiest/quickest, less cut out the better for the car. How are you joggling the steel sheet? I ask as I bought a joggler (cheap one) and it is bloody rubbish.

Was it a cheap air one, as was looking at one may I ask? Yes less is better enough to cut out rust

Hi mate rear part not so good, three layers too have cut out rot in centre part, first will remove rear tub rot roughly white lines this will allow me to remove inner rotten part of cill again roughly marked, as sandwiched between rear tub and...

Sorry forgot accompanying pictures never like cutting out good material when unnecessary so much of this is good inside and out

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...

Not to bad so far inner cills in excellent condition cut off some, back half not so good rot to back of inner last foot and under wheel arch liner quite difficult, without burning paint on wheel arch, centre stiffener pushed in 10mm with...

Bless u my friend and knew nothing would get past u , im so extremly grateful Would u mind replacing the passenger side as well plse so then it takes all the worry away of any rust starting again on the sills Many thks for giving it a clean ...

Hi mate started fiddling today, front tubs out trim etc front of cills good will decide where to join as access is limited but no rust, will cut off old full along top with 20mm overlap and drill spots on bottom, rear wheel arch will need a quite...

Hi mate removed the back part of the passenger cill cover, managed to get cover self tappers out, Hands up was proved wrong, hole at bottom/back of cill, but they couldn't have known as you couldn't see, and I poked the hole, inside the cill...
