gav- Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 My 200tdi disco which is modded has a very weak rear door cross member, underneath the door pillar with the hinges on it. I have just crashed my 300tdi and would like to get this back on the road. (I brought it with the intention of traybacking it) Will that fail an MOT? the floor is patched up at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The door pillar will come under the body structure, so if it's heavily corroded then it may well fail. Sometimes rust is just an advisory - it's a grey area I'm afraid. Got any pictures of it? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davie Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 My 200 tdi disco passed its mot with extensive rot all round the rear. was so bad when you opened boot door and looked down you could see the road real clearly + the rear bumper was just clinging on and no more with one bolt only half done up due to a rotten/twisted body mount in the road for tightening it up....also the door hinges had a snapped bolt in there. Got the mot tester on an extrememly busy sat morning so it was rushed through.........worked for 2 years like that. Definetly blind luck i reckon!!!!!!!!

russ3120 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 sounds just like mine, hope my mot man is as blind as yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav- Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I havent got any pics i am afraid. I may just put it through and see what happens when i brought it- when you opened the door the body pillar swang with it. It was only the outside bodywork that was holding it on!

Les Henson Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 In that case it'll definitely fail if the tester spots it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
