bloody hell - dammit you cross member!

okay - so after hearing some clunking going over bumps this week I finally had a chance to look. After realising that the bracket on the rear cross member for the exhaust had snapped I thought I would quickly wrap some wire and have a look at it in more detail. Now remembering that I've only had it a few months and never had a need to jack it up - I thought I would quickly take the tire off and have a look. I get the jack out and it wont go in the hole...spend a good hour clearing the rust out of it to get it to fit - finally doing so started jacking it up....

long story short - it twisted and bent...the whole jacking point on the rear cross member. So I'm going to have to get this sorted.

I was thinking of doing it myself as I have a mig welder but am wondering if there is anyone in Edinburgh that would be recommended? I was going to order a heavy duty one in the next couple of days.

Any thoughts on a recommendation in the Edinburgh area? Alternatively - anyone local that is interested in helping

Cheers,

If you value your landy and plan to keep it try contacting Clive ('pressbrake' on here) He makes the best around. Need to be quick as I think, he was planning on closing his business down end of March but i think he has extended an extra couple of weeks.
