Terrano is being picked up tomorrow morning, family member put a fresh MOT on it for me for no extra charge Went through, but had to have £350 worth of welding on the chassis

So I should not be too dodgy now Rick

Anyway I will wait until I get the green light from the forum if I can post or not.
Not saying it will be, but if the garage who MOT'd the truck did the welding, it may be worth checking how good the welding is.
We have seen newly MOT'd vehicles which should not be on the road, due to poor repairs, or no repairs, just a thought.
Glad you are closer to getting your new Terry

I will have a good look under it when I get it, make sure that it's not 'blobbed' on and if it's had a coat of under-seal. I'll take some photees to show you

It should all be fine, but we had one bloke from Ireland who had bought a T2 with a new MOT, the photos are on here somewhere. It had been MOT'd but no welding had been done...you could still see the yellow chalk where it had failed an MOT before, the chassis looked really bad
As I said though, I'm sure yours will be fine
