Welding, Milton Keynes
« on: 26 October 2009, 12:57 »
Does anyone know of a VW-friendly welder in the Milton Keynes area who's not busy over the next couple of days? I have just tried to rest my Mkll on its off-side front lifting point and it disappeared into the floor! Assuming this is an MOT failure I would like to get it fixed. MOT is due next week!

As the rot seems to have set in are there any other places I should have a look at?

Don't know any welders in your area, sorry.

Check the sills too, also get the carpet up and have a look, rear arches  :sick: rear valance...

Best to ask the welder to check it over, if possible while you're there so you can see if he's ripping you off for work that's not needed.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Well, would you bloody-believe it. The Old Git passed its MOT! Work still has to be done though so that I can hand it over to Mr Tyrefitter for the two new front tyres it will need soon.
