theres a hole in my disco.....

(1/4) > >>

andrew2986:
Need a bit of advice,
on the rear wheel arch inside the rear doors next to the seats, on my disco I have discovered a couple of small rust holes. are there repair bits for this or could I just fibre glass it up?
I think its a common area for rust. Want to keep this car for a while longer so any advice would be welcome.

Is this an MOT problem as its coming up in August...

Cheers

Andy

It needs to be welded up and I don't think there are any replacement panels..

It's part of the seatbelt mounting points for the rear seats, certainly within 12cm of them or whatever it is...

would be worth checking the rear floor and making sure that's alright, since that usually rusts first.

Mine failed its mot due to this just the other because it is only so far from the seatbelt mounts horrible thing is the guy said what a pig it is to weld it up cos of the location its going in friday morning for the welding and retest so ill prob be skint lol

andrew2986:
Oh poo!

Looks like im going to have to find a bodyshop to fix it.

How much are they charging you to fix it ? (if you dont mind me asking)

Andy

landroverkeith:
no problem at all lol

unfortunatly the guys say they can get a proper quote untill they look at it friday morning but he did say start at roughly a £100 as a basic i dont know if thats good or bad but its gotta be done
