Welcome, he draws them Realtime you know

Exactly and that's why we need the noddy guidance...... "please make sure you use the door on the way out....... walking through the wall tends to hurt"

That's my thinking, for older diesels they would tend to fail the MOT on emissions. They used to say, take it out for 5 mins "drive it like you stole it", then it would pass.

Forget it they need to rev/run to pass emissions usually anyway this is just covering them, " please don't fall down the toilet"

It would take a hell of a lot to puncture and it should be protected by the chassis/other elements in the main part. I guess metal was probably cheaper back then.

Welcome, looks nice, whats the Gold Finger laser pointing at it ?

Crazy isnt it.... Mine used to go to a regular garage never had an issue but I know technically it shouldnt. But technically they should have a tacograph fitted in France.

It all depends on the history, are there signs of a new rear cross member ? or fabrications on the chassis.
