Rob, why don't you have this spare motor off me, it'd solve 99% of your problems?

So I decided to clean the repaired subframe up to see the extent of the repair.

Wow, just wow. This repair cost the previous owner £126 plus vat less than a year ago. "Fabricate and weld in repair section"

I'm tempted to report them to VOSA.

Rob, email replied to.

So I decided to do the job which the garage should have done last year. I'm not a welder and my welder is gas free so is hard to weld neatly but this repair should last the life of the car. I also cleaned up and repainted the ARB. New bushes going in while it's apart.
