Requesting the pooled wisdom pleeeese !
1998 Defender rear x-member; just spotted a bit of rust. Banged it with a Maglite and produced a hole about size of a Fifty pence piece. The rest of it seems sound. I recall dinging it in same place a few years ago but did nothing about it !!!
Question is - whats the best way to repair it ? I assume welding a patch on is the simplest option and smothering it inside with Wax-Oyl as I intended doing 9 years ago.
