Cracked rear sub frame

Post by ibyellow »

While fixing the hand brake i notice a crack on the passenger side part of the subframe. Its about 1 cm wide and 12-15cm long in the middle from the stub axle to the pivot joint. Its also paralell to the seam? but about 2 cm away from it. I know that this will cause it to fail its MOT on Tuesday but is it likely that welding it is an alowable/safe fix or must it be a replacement subframe?

Any idea of costs either way as money is very tight at the mo?

Oh and its a 93 diesel if that helps :)

This hasnt been a great day :( but atleast my handbrake works lol.
