Afternoon all a quick question for you. My disco had a advisory for corroded centre body mounts. im just wondering can these be repaired and how easy is it to do, or is it easier to just get new mounts stuck on. Im not fussed on how long it takes but which one will be better in the long run.

Thanks Danny

Do you know what is involved with removing the old ones as a mate of mine is doing it, or do you know where I can look to see what's involved?

well i done the one behind the drivers side front wheel this weekend. I got the mounts from island 4x4 which where £15 for a pair delivered.

So i started with

doesnt look to bad!!! I then surported the body and removed the body mount. I then started to poke around with a hammer and screw driver and found lots of soft and weak metal. Anway i cut away the weak metal and was left with

Then a case of making up some plates

Grind back the metal to give you clean area to weld to which is really not easy as there is no room for a grinder! Then weld in the plates then undersill. took me an afternoon to do 1 mount.

Hope this helps
