I've seen two cases when the BCU failed after welding but then the owners didnt disconnect the battery so maybe with battery disconnected it might not be a problem

Welding up a failed window-glass riser buggered my OEM alarm and remote door-locking on my Merc 500.
Got it replaced under warranty....... luckily.

Cheers SF. I usually just disconnect the negative, but never welded anything with as much electronics as a D2. Will have to just give it a go and cross my fingers. I might take the engine ECU out as an extra precaution.

youve not done a bad job there
Cheers James. Cut all the worst of the rust out. When you get into the guts of the chassis, you see why they rot. It’s got multiple layers and rust forms between them. Really bad design.

good luckExtensive welding done on both rear chassis legs. As said, disconnected battery negative lead only and removed the engine ecu. All back together now and everything's working fine. MOT next Friday, the 13th.
