   i have a rust hole under both ecu and engine fuse box
   
   about the size of an ace of spades ar maybe a 2 of dimonds ( the size of a playing card for those who are simple lol )
   
   how much to fix and will it fail mot ?
   
   found out its due to the shit wheel arch liners have a squre missing out the plastic. allowing water in the metal therefore rusting
   fucking shitron

   Cost of some a4 sheets of metal, Then the cost of someone to cut out the rust and weld the new plates on. £100 maybe
   It will fail an mot if not

   Same happened on my brothers, Cost him £200 inc MOT, so £160's worth of welding. But as above if can weld yourself then nect to nothing.

   You need Mild Steel, at a push you can get it off ebay and usually if you ask around you'll find a mate or a mate's mate who can weld it in if you can't do it yourself.
