As the title.

 

Just managed to scrape an MOT due to a corroded front cross member amongst other things.

 

Is it a big job to replace this with a new OEM one?

Are they bolted in or welded into place?

Hopefully the former.

 

Any advice would be very welcome.

welded in place I think, need to cut and reweld a new one in IIRC

my cars in it bit no just look its weldeyou would have to strip the from down to get to it rad out and aircon rad

so, as I understand it then, the cross member is welded in.

Spot welded I am guessing.

Has anyone done this themselves and can break down the stages I will need to through.

I know where it is, but has anyone got any photos showing the the fixing points etc'

Can this be done with the engine in?
