Richard Mills Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi there, my N reg 300Tdi failed its MOT earlier in the year on the rear body mountings being rusted. I took some photo's and then fixed them. Paddocks provided new mounts at a very reasonable price. The mounts were of good material and have enough overlap to enable them to be welded to any rusty cross member. It took only a few minutes to knock em off, but the bumper has to come off to get them back on, this took some time, and of course welding the mouse holes in the rear cross member too. Overall about 5 hours work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 That looks better should not need doing for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie D Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looks like a good job - I'ver to do mine prior to the mot too - bought a pair from yrm with the big 'wings'. Debating wether to try and cut out the rust and plate before welding the new mount in. I've the boot floor & sides out at the minute - but acces is still limited.
