Hi All,

My N plate Disco is suffering from rot and the rear floor needs
replacing, the job is too big for me, what sort of price can I expect
to pay to have it replaced.

Can anyone explain the process of the floor replacement to me please.

Many thanks

James

Rear floor replaced, cross member under rear floor replaced, driver's
wheelarch repaired (welded) and it all cost including parts £338.00.

OK - well for that price its worth having done sooner rather than
later, and going by what Derek has said the job would take a little
while......where did you have it sone, can anyone recomend anywhere in
Surrey......I also need the pasenger rear wheel arch welded.

Take out the carpets remove fuel tank drill out the spot welds holding the
floor to the cross member (as an option you can replace the x member which
saves the drilling out bit) cut out the floor panel (angle grinder cut off
tool or shear) make good the edges weld in replacement panel I intend to
plug weld so a few blind rivets to hold everything tight before I fire up
the mig seal the seams repaint and slonk rustproofing - probably waxoyl
across the job . Now the weather forecast has gone rather nasty so it wont
be this week. The whole process was covered in LRW which you can buy from
the website http://www.testreports.co.uk/motors/lrw/stock/Model.asp?Model=85

Hi James, being disabled I cannot do any of these jobs myself which is why I
had to take it to the local Landrover specialist, Land Ranger but I live in
the Wigan area.
