We have recently purchased a 97 Discovery (low mileage etc etc) and whilst we knew it needed the usually welding on sills and rear floor panel when we brought it, we have now discovered the chassis is snapped on the rear passenger side, and cracked on the drivers side - we have now stopped driving the vehicle in fear of it splitting in half!
I was therefore after some advice please -
** Is this a common problem and is it fixable? We want it to tow a horse box - will it ever be suitable for this again without a full replacement chassis?
** Anyone got an idea of what this type of job could set us back - replacement chassis parts etc? Am prepared to do welding myself depending on size of job
I know without seeing the vehicle prices will be difficult to gauge, but I am just after a ball-park figure in order that I can assess whether it is worth continuing or just cutting my losses and selling it as spares / repair.
If the latter - anyone after a discovery project?
Gutted to say the least!
