Yes, that's exactly what's happening...

thanks very much, its going to get a coat of Noxudol 700 now that its mot'd, it was purposely left clean so the mot inspector could clearly see I'm not hiding anything, the arb bushes had no play in them despite their age, I could have cleaned it I guess but this wasn't a restoration- we needed it back on the road for my wife to go to work

Sorry about that, don't think i got that footage

its quite common on a lot of cars these days apparently

just fyi, i got the replacement one from ebay, its aftermarket but seems to fit no probs, good luck with the project

Thanks you, glad you enjoy it

difficult to answer for drilling as there is internal bracing in the chassis too which had disintegrated in mine, you'd probably be better off getting 'weld on m8/m10 studs' properly fixed to the chassis and then cavity wax inside after welding

thanks for the kind comment

True but its generally easier putting things back together once its all cleaned or replaced with shiny new parts

subframe or car? the car was neutralised primed and painted, once it gets back from the MOT it'll get sprayed with Noxudol 700 to help protect it

sad truth

most people don't look under their cars and just take it to the garage- they're just interested in quick easy money so the issue gets ignored until its too late to save unfortunately

there was no play in them, i can do them again if necessary

probable because of the cost and they make money selling parts/replacement cars

british climate isn't kind to cars that's for sure

thanks for the kind reply, the job would be a lot easier with a two poster ramp for sure

it seems to be quite common- the fact that there's an aftermarket subframe available would suggest there's a big market for them- they wouldn't bother otherwise

does make you wonder how many more out there are like this

its definitely hit and miss as some are a lot worse than others, they seem fairly robust body wise

yeah, its a common problem, our climate and winter road salting certainly doesn't help

yeah not ideal but sorted now, onwards and upwards, thanks for the comments

thank you, hopefully it'll last a few more years now, thanks for the comments

no idea, got the car from Neath area, might have been as the front subframe was in similar condition- any info?

that would be really nice but unlikely unfortunately, rusty frames and chassis ( like the pickup) seem to be more and more of a problem over the last decade

I think I read something about Mercedes owners taking a legal case regarding the cars having an alleged predicated lifespan and degrading to make recycling easier

subframes are a really common problem on a lot of cars these days unfortunately, thanks for the comments

My 10 year old mini 1984 was just a rust bucket, doesn't look like they've progressed that much.

Cars just aren't built to last these days, the biggest irony is the wiring situation where its more complex, sensitive and connected than ever yet less robust and reliable due to having to be biodegradable etc- future wiring issues are going to be impossible to remedy without a complete new loom

I assume so but I don't have one to try unfortunately, sorry

@Macmonkey1000 I agree I am just wondering why it is up to the owner. Subframes have been a problem since the 1950's. I would have thought by now BMW would have got a grip! As has been mentioned that should have failed the MOT! Cheers

Lanoguard is what you want that will stop any future rust

Why the surprise? Steel dissolves in salty water and we put salty water on our roads? It is in the interest of the automotive makers to make vehicles that dissolve and need to be replaced. It is not in the interest of buyers but we don’t have the power to change anything.

@@melvynwoodman5787 I just thought ( mistakenly!)with a safety critical item BMW would have done better!

Galvanizing would be ideal but too costly i guess, cant make money if the cars last forever i guess, thanks for the comments

yeah it wasn't great but a bit better now, cheers Dewi

honestly not sure without having a look, the vans not here atm but hopefully someone can help you out

ity should be on the bag that it came in on the video

@paulsprojects1 but I can't read it in the video

that's going to happen in the near future, the tub will come back off for cleaning and sealing along with a few more jobs on the 'todo' list

its a 2012 model, ex welsh water so yeah its had a hard life

Glad it was helpful!

ok thanks, ill see how I get on, like I said I'm sure the problem is probably related to not keeping it clean and able to cool

unfortunately I believe that the ford repairs have ended now

yeah im glad its nearly done too, got so much to catch up on lol

I appreciate the comment, would love to have fitted insulated panels but they're certainly not cheap and the box profile wouldn't have been in keeping with the rest of the corrugated barn would I be better off filling the gap above the purlins with foam?

@@paulsprojects1 You don't understand what a standard industrial roof is. It is formed using a thin liner sheet with a 19mm profile fixed to the purlins, there are then galvanised horizontal spacer Z bars fixed through the liner sheet into purlins, fibreglass insulation is laid over the liner sheet between the Z bars. and then the top finish sheet is fixed to the Z bars. That top sheet can be standard corrugated tin if you want to match your main roof. The height of the Z bars can be set to suit the depth of the insulation from 50 - 250mm. You don't have to comply with the insulation requirements of the Building Regs, being an agricultural barn so that the insulation can be set to suit that required for condensation control. This form of construction has been the most common used in industrial buildings for at least 50 years. What you are thinking of is the complete foam insulated bonded panel that is a totally different and more expensive animal. Apart from the condensation control aspect, another issue will be noise. In pouring rain the noise on the flat corrugated roof will be excessive and at times deafening. It isn't an issue with a barrel vault because that rain mostly strikes any part of the roof obliquely. Filling the gap over the top pf the purlins is problematic as the spray foam needs to be at least closed cell foam. The common open cell foam is vapour permeable and will allow the passage of vapour and condensation. Also the corrugated iron is in direct contact with the purlin and therefore has no insulation at that point and the foam will just hold the water produced.

@@clivewilliams3661 cheers for that, yeah I'm no builder/ roofer that's for sure, noise isn't really an issue as its for storage only tbh but thanks for the info

its not really penny pinching, the correct parts were refitted and the incorrect ones weren't as the quality obviously wasn't good enough, this is not an every day car that gets serviced every 10-20k, the pump that came off was in very good order as the car does very little mileage unfortunately, it'll get changed again in due course and I'll be better prepared next time as I now know the issues, hopefully the video has helped others be more aware too

oi sim, o sensor resolveu o problema, obrigado

thanks for the kind comment, it was vanish oxi action stain remover, it seemed to work quite well, should be getting the seats mounted into the truck soon
