Front Inner Wings Corroded
Hi Everyone
Had a shock recently after picking up my XK8 from the local independent after a service. They advised that the front inner wings were corroded and holed behind the subframe, and that its a certain MOT failure unless fixed . They have quoted £650 plus vat to fix, however they have warned that its not an easy job and if it becomes difficult to remove the front subframe it could stretch to £1000. Ouch!
Anyone had any similar issues ? Does the price seem fair ? Got a few weeks to decide as MOT is not till end of June .

Sorry to hear, although it's a common problem on UK cars, I'm afraid.
