Wotcher all, just checking on something. And posting on-topic for a change too!
While trying to re-fit a towbar to the landy, I missed the spanner I was using to undo the nuts and the hammer went through the metal of the crossmember. I prodded around and have found a fair few rusted-through parts and have hacked out the worst of the dodgy metal.
Basically all the rusted metal appears to be skin rather than structural, there's lots of solid metal, the rusted stuff is in the gaps between heavy bits, e.g. one of them is the bit that covers up the end of one of the chassis rails, some of it is the metal around the part that the tailgate hinges bolt to.
So would people tend to patch the crossmember, or just replace the whole thing? It looks like a repair job to me but I thought I'd check in case I'm forgetting something.
