Hi Simone, Quite common due to road salt and silt etc getting thrown into the opening inside the wheel arch. This metal tube carries the breather and vent tube from the filler neck to the top of the fuel tank. At this point Simone, get a pair of tin snips and hacksaw and carefully cut the tube at either ends (be careful not to catch the two plastic pipes inside) once the knackered metal is removed, file the edges so they aren't as sharp to prevent any possible damage to the two tubes and find a piece of pvc pipe from b&q the same diameter think it's 40mm but can't remember (just take a bit of the knackered metal with you to compare). Then, you might be lucky enough to gently warm the pvc tubing up to recreate the bend (gentle heat) and quickly submersing it into cooler water. Once you have the shape correct run a slit down the length of it, to allow you to put the two plastic tubes inside the pvc and then fit into the location in the body under the seat and other end into the wheel arch. Seal up the slit with tiger seal and then bond the pvc into the bodywork using the same tiger seal. Go into the drivers side arch, and where the tubes pass into the car, seal this big hole with the tiger seal too. Stops anymore nasty stuff getting into the pvc pipe work ( I know it is t going to rust out again) but the bigger (ribbed) tube that pass through that metal rusty bit of tubing is very thin and doesn't take much to create a pin hole in it. Done this way as above, you'll never have any issues again Hope this helps

Good evening, thanks for sharing your experience on welding, Just wanted to know what type of welder are you using…. And also please do some more videos on working on the rover 75 .

Hope things settle down in the future for you. Welding looks amazing. I wonder if the people dropping out the course are because they got what they wanted out of it? :(

Sorry I missed you I am ill I have a really bad chest infection. I was in bed 😊

Goooooood morning 😂

Don't forget grinding disc's in Lidl 😂👍🇮🇪

What "good reason" for no christmas? I'm not fussed about it either,but do enjoy sharing the holiday,food and drink.

I didn't know you could still get Findus crispy pancakes any more...I used to like those

you're doing great, I used to weld stuff like that practising and consider it a success if I couldn't break it by hitting it with my big hammer. With regard to welder power my home use mig is a cheapo chinese one that goes up to 180 amps and it seems to cope with all I can throw at it 😊

Well done Simone, keep at it.

Very nice work, you have a very steady hand & great you are benefiting from the course

Even a cup of cat poo coffee isn't that expensive😅 Good vlog👍

Ya doing good. Never done welding... looks well fun!

First time? :D

Bit of bad luck there Simone, I'm sure you will sort it out.

Might be selling my 75 if you want another? 😉

Excellent video! Thanks lass! 😊👍💜

Oh! Is that the actual pipe, or a skin over the top?

So far as i know its electric cables...if u take the rear seat out theres a big metal tube that comes in...i'm not aware of fuel lines coming it at this location..... ......Bob.....☺

Hi simone....water and salt has got in where the cables come in on the rear offside wheelarch of the car...theres a metal plate that covers the cables.. take the back seat squab out so as u can see the extent of the damage...the other sude is probably ok...its a welding job....good luck...Bob..Paignton....

Leaky boot…… classic 75….

Yikes😬 ❤Koni

That - is a bummer Simone.

hi simone grate show 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄

That is bad. Keep us posted on your progress

I'm sure its a low pressure delivery pipe (to the high pressure pump on the engine) I replaced one (although not on a Rover) with a length of hydraulic flexible pipe worked a treat🥲any hydraulic fittings supplier will sell you the pipe and they'll have the size you need x

Oh no poor Connie !! 😢 But I’m sure you will fix it Simone!! 🤙 But I’d also look into why it rusted. Looks like water is getting somewhere. 🙁

Oh! That's the fuel filler neck? Is it leaking diesel?

take your time, choose a time when you are feeling at your best

Nooooooooo. :(

Oh, poor you. Always something!

Couldn't find ur new video u mentioned over on Boaty's World???? 🤷‍♂🙆‍♂ ...Put a Tizer in ur tank - You described it well from what I can recall. Cherryade was yummy!! Used to get Corona fizzy drinks delivered by lorry 'door to door' back in the 1960s...

A proper trip down memory lane for me watching you tinkering away there on this old jalopy Simone ...nah nah just kidding 😁 I can see ya love her ta bits - she's a real sweetheart ay 🥰] ...I had one very similar way back in 1977. She was a 1970 Cortina Mk 2 that had had a recent 1600 pre-crossflow engine up grade. Her body and chassis was in pristine condition. She was a beauty. I often wonder if she's still burning rubber around the South West counties somewhere.

I heard recently that E-cars and Hybrids are stock piled in China '- said it was because they are not selling 🤷‍♂🙆‍♂ ...No ads showing up yet on replay btw.

I agree about the card and pin cerebral pro-active thingy - It's like pay-wave, I don't trust it. I have it on my visa debit card but not my eftpos card thankfully. I've used it just once in a supermarket and I later discovered that a $2.50 "activity fee" had been added to the bill ffs!! 😠 Pass!!

Hiya 👋😃 "First timer" here ... The only E-Vehicle I have ever driven is a golf cart/buggy!! 😂 Many times ...Now, compared to walking a gruelling18 holes - which can be anywhere between 3miles (in a straight line and as rare as hen's teeth 😁) and 10 miles zig zagging off track, doing it in a buggy is absolute heaven 🙂 ...Joking aside Simone, I know I'd miss the whole buzz, the sound, vibes and smell of an internal combustion engine tbh. What about you Simone?

Great video when its all done in the dark and we cant see anything

🐈 🐈‍⬛️ MEOWWWW

Well done Simone, keep at it.

Mmm hot dogs😋

Coming on in leaps and bounds - way better than me !

hi simone those welding ant to bad .su keep going .thay will get a hold lot better. well dun.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄

awesome stuff simone

I am sure Tee Cee would oblige you on practising outside of the course. You're not doing welding from scratch I assume Simone?

Thanks for the update Simone, and the photos at the end.

I'm sure it's frustrating welding with some people who only show up for classes intermittently. With my helmet I marked F for flux core and S for stick on the position of the knob that means i know where to set it every time so i can actually see the weld pool. I was struggling with it's settings as i don't read instructions very well🙄 Different settings for different people 👍 As for classes, i can only progress when I'm 100% up to speed with what's being taught. I'd be out in the shed practicing in your position. You have to adapt what's being taught to your welder,project and the way that works for you. Don't know if you are doing it for the certificate or just the knowledge you can use on your projects.....

Your kitty 🐈 sounds hungry Simone

awesome stuff :)

hi simone grate show 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄
