disco 2 chassis rot
« on: May 22, 2011, 11:18:42 AM »
hi

I thought i would check the chassis on the disco 2 i'm selling. (was selling)
There was a slight bubbling in the waxoyl. I thought it needed a prod with a screw driver.
5 mins later



This is below the drivers seat. The rest of the chassis is solid.
Its a 2001 car.
I normally do my own welding but this needs to be put on a ramp and done properly.
Can you suggest a good welder.

Geoff

Sadly this is typical of the biscuit tin chassis for the disco 2, god knows what mine's like, at least you can see that corrosion the disco 2 is really bad for rotting from the inside unseen. shame really,,,,

Wow. I thought mine was bad!

Out of interest, where did you get a replacement chassis from? And if it's not too cheeky, how much? (feel free to not answer that second bit!)

I know build quality isn't what it used to be but that's taking the biscuit! There are 50 years old series' in better nick than that!

Hi,

Chassis was repaired by Calum Ford at Bo'ness. He has done a fantastic job. I'd recommend Calum to anyone who needs any welding / fabrication done.
Call him on 07825953814.
Here is a pic of his work
