Thanks everyone for the advice.
Found a great local old boy welder who took one look and did the job for 100 quid. Flew through the MOT, but only after the garage charged me £120 to replace the window washer motor and fix one of the rear number plate lights (!) |

Welding. Cushti.
Washer pump and number plate light. EEK at that price. Both are simple jobs. There is a good fit pump widely available for peanuts now. And a quick fix is to redeploy the rear screen washer pump to the front while waiting for the new pump. Good that the MOT is passed now. . |

If it wasn’t a friend of a friend who did it for mates rates, then it might be worth sharing the guys business name/contact details in case someone else in the London area is looking for a bit of welding.... Cheers |
