Well, I have done the welding, done the headlight adjustment on a special machine and did the brake line yesterday. Had to cut the brake line, put a new brake union on and re-flare the brake pipe itself.
Going back in for them to check the work, and get my MOT hopefully, tomorrow.
Fingers crossed the welding covered all the holes in the sill. When it was ground back we did find about 4 small holes that had been filled, and the brake line I took off was split...very hard to spot it when on the car though!

regarding rust detection tools, it should be a rubber tipped dmall hammer looking thing, but we used to just tap along the sills with a flat bar lol and listen for a change in sound

It is a common problem though so they would have looked for it.

Yea I guess! The old one had a hard-to-spot split in it at the bit it curves inwards. The sad thing is I was going to replace them all next week anyway with R19 Goodridge hoses anyway. Originally Posted by MatBrown
