del Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 nice to meet you all i was just wondering how much it would be to buy and get fitted a new rear crosmember on a 1993 90?? thankyou! hi there i think new cross members are about £120 odd but you can get them a hell of a lot cheaper at the landrover shows , a decent landrover specialist will give you an over the phone price, probably 4-6 hours work ,but if your new to the landrover world get yourself a welder and have a go at fixing it yourself,its half the fun of ownership!

Guest noggy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 depends how rusty the chassis legs are, http://www.paddockspares.com/sp/category/D...ssis_Parts.html Pretty easy job any competent welder will do it for you for some beer tokens. If you intent to to offroading in the future, make modifications to the crossmember now where you can have it on a bench for example, winch tray, reinforced for roll cage plates. etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUYZER90 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Just done mine , i bought a Bearmach cross member with extensions and it cost me £112 +vat from my local independent Land rover man , got my Dad to fit it , the whole job probley took around 5 hrs to complete as the chassis did need a little more work just beyond the extensions , but when you get the x member it will need so fetling and some making good as the pattern parts are no way as good as the origenal. Good luck and welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 great niceone lads! cheers for the advise! if the original x member is rusty is it an MOT failior? thankyou again Yes, as it's a major chassis part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 but if your new to the landrover world get yourself a welder and have a go at fixing it yourself,its half the fun of ownership! Granted, but if you are new to welding, replacing a rear crossmember is not the place to start! it's a critical part of the vehicle, especially if you using it for towing, and a bodged repair is simply unsafe and dangerous.

Les Henson Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes, as it's a major chassis part. No - 30cm rule/tow bar mounting points apply. Some rusty holes in a rear crossmember will not fail. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you dont do the welding you could do all the cutting unbolting refitting and get a mobile welder or drive it to a garage to do all the stuff you a bit worried about doing yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
