It was a different garage/MOT'er that knows the welder as he brings all his cars in their so let them get on with it. Welded now so I think I might go mad with the hammerite this weekend.

13 months worth of MOT now on the micra! Happy man again.

£50 for both sides of the crossmember to be welded and 50 for the MOT! BOOYAH!!!! Micra fights another day! Thanks for making me look for a welder only rather than a garage people....Probably wouldn't of thought about it otherwise.

I've owned it for the last five years and only had to solder the throttle body in that time. Plus change two tyres, reearth some bulbs and garage do a split gaitor for last 4 mots. I did put it in a month early to check the crossmember. And once told it would def fail and due to cost started...

I'm not sure as a six foot 42 year old bloke I can pull off the stockings to be honest with you!

Well someones going to weld it ( patch top n bottom ) for 120 inc. Couldn't find anything else that was an obvious fail when I looked so fingers/legs/knickers crossed is passes thursday

I've since read about the k12 and them being bags o' sh1te I think as the cars 22 years old now her indoors could do with something a bit newer. Not sure what else it would fail on but it is dropping some oil, think the front pads need doing and 2 new tyres so add £55 on for an MOT and it...

very annoying as everything else goes/stops/works fine.

Actually looking at a k12 but they seems a lot more to go wrong. Inc timing chain cost is v expensive.

They said it would fail and just to take the bumper off and weld a patch would be 180 inc + MOT and anything else they find so looks like its going to the great nissans in the sky :-(

Would that be patchable do you reckon?

spoke to a garage this morning ( not the one Im going too ) and he said that just supports the rad? Nothing else is in 30 cms. Seems a real grey area on these https://mattersoftesting.blog.gov.uk/your-questions-answered-if-a-cross-member-is-heavily-corroded-is-it-a-fail/...

that might work better

Didn't fancy getting on the floor with motorbike boots on tbh. The garage will be doing a pre inspection on that bit for me on Saturday. If it fails or the quotes to high then of course it's not worth wasting the cash on the mot. You can see how bad it is as I've removed the plastic cover but...

yes but is what Im showing on the vids ( you need to copy the link and drop it in a new page - sorry ) likely to pass or fail?

Hi again people. Mrs little K11 is due its MOT and it had last year a pass and advise on the xmember. I've had a look underneath and it didn't look too bad. Would you guy tell me what you think please? I realise this is a very grey area even to MOT testers and VOSA with these. Really don't...

Ooops, can someone move to the K11 section for me please :wasntme:

Hi, Wondering if someone can help please? Rear wiper motor has now packed in after the wife was rear ended ( no comments please:glare: ) Have checked fusebox, fuse ok. I can follow it back to a clip which has 3 wires on it. Black, green and blue. One seems to be permantly live, the...
