Cowboy welders - Argh!
pritch:
I'm sitting around, waiting for the time when I have to take the Disco for its MOT (Second time around).
A few weeks ago, it failed on welding.
So, I took it to a back street garage. Without getting under the vehicle, he told me it would be £180. Now, I can spot a bargain when I see one, and I can also spot something that's far too good to be true.
So, I took it to see the wonderful Dave Sharp at RDS Engineering. He got under the vehicle, and started laughing.
"You were quoted £180 for this?" he said, pulling a lump of sill off with his bare hands
"Yup."
"It's going to be more than that."
Two complete new side sills. A patch on the rear sill. A patch on a rear wheelarch. Rebuilt the bottom of the A pillars.
He's been a busy chap. £500 in all. Not the £180 the cowboy in a back street garage quoted me, but I'm really happy at the quality of the job he's done.
Let's hope the MOT man thinks the same... :?

Rich_P:
So it cost you £500 for the welding work including the cost of the parts as well?
