Wouldn't a hammer beat this? and some 3 or 5mm metal box welded over this strengthen it up ? And get it through a m.o.t ?

The car is a td4 bmw engine low miles shame really as you wouldn't know it has this damage is there any way around a m.o.t ?.

So pulling it out and welding some thick metal around it wouldn't that work ?

Is this repairable ? Its were the tow bar bolts on to frame underneath ? Is this a m.o.t failer ? Can I even still uses it to tow a carvan ? Can I even get this fixed ?

Yes I think its a hit an miss situation tbh see ive only just got it sort of a project for summer to use for towing ... the engine is far to clean for its age 2003 ... looks like its been jet washed I will be stripping it down as soon as I have the free time for all I know that sensor could be sitting in a puddle of water who knows so far ive been told its possible relay or temp senor under inlet manifold or the power pack transformer that sits on the right of the double fan tbh I'm just looking for possible things that I can check out if anyone has any ideas it will be much appreciated Yes so far ive been told temp sensor under inlet manifold or possible relay or the power pack that sits to the right of the double fan ...the engine looks far to clean for a 2003 ive only just got it so for all I know the pervious owner possibly jet washed it and its sitting under the inlet in a load of water who knows when I have a bit of free time ill take the inlet off its just a project for summer for towing its a bit of hit an miss tbh bit if anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciate
