Quick question for you guys, my friends td5 disco needs a bit of welding, what do you suggest about protecting the electrics, disconnecting the battery etc. Is there anything special to do?

Many Thanks

It's on a y plate. Where the chassis rises at the rear it looks like it's made in two halves, drain holes are clear, steel was probably rusty when they made it!
