Rear diff pan

(1/3) > >>

Hi All

I've got an MOT in three weeks and have just found that my rear diff pan has a pin hole in it  :'( :'(



I can weld and will do it myself , but , the new pan will be pressed steel and I belive the axle casing is cast...

My question is ..... ;)

Will I be able to mig it together with normal mig wire or will I need to get something special ???

also whats the best (cheapest ) pan I can get and where from ???

I'm also thinking the bottom fo a gas bottle might work  :-k

 You know me if I can do it for free I will :lol: :lol:

Just weld a small piece of metal over the hole! Thats cheap and it fixed mine after a piece of diff had come through!

ben-dent:
lee clean it with a wire brush and check it hasnt spread to all over the diff pan, if not then cut a small patch of metal and mig it on, just make sure you get the metal clean and dont blow holes,, and drain the diff oil and then put fresh in after

lee celtic:
I fear that there may be more holes under the rust so there may well be nothing to weld to on the pan ... :'(

I need to get a plan in place before attacking it with the wire brush If it is a mess I need to fix it there and than cause I need it daily for work 8-[

landmannnn:
You will only fail the MOT if the oil actually drips out during the MOT test.  Chewing gum until you have more time!
