WHITTALL Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My Ford Ka 2002 just got refused an MOT as it was to dangerous to MOT for the reason of rust. The areas that need repairing O/S/F & N/S/R Sills have holes, O/S/F & N/S/R floor AND O/S/R Chassis point. Just looking for a what a rough quote would be to have these welded?

AdeMk1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Depends how large the areas are and how much work the repairs need. Try posting a few pictures. Would the garage not quote you for the work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITTALL Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Cheers for the response the garage that did the MOT don't do welding but I've been quoted today £200-£300 for the job which is reasonable for the extent of the work.

wase16ll Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 not easy to quote on welding. in order for a good weld, you need clean metal around the corrosion, so what looks like a 2" diameter hole, can rapidly turn into something much larger in search of sound metalwork. £2-300 seems a reasonable quote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Its too dangerous to MOT, but they still allowed you to drive it away? Oh, the irony of the MOT system! If it was that bad, and they don't do welding, it should have been trailered to somewhere that does do welding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Agree with BigD here, that is rather ironic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
