Well what a pile of cammel dung the so called x raying of the weld turned out to be..
Buggar me we can't get the gear into the area re-welded..so they did a magnetic crack test.I suspect that this was also dodgy as the paint that had been applied to the newly welded area was not removed.. limiting the effectiveness of the process.
The specialist agreed that the weld was not all that flash but was sufficient, and that the factory repair process was probably not designed for extent or degree of the failure that had taken place.

The outcome..No certifier it seems is happy to catigorically say that it will prove to be a long term solution..I am now like a patient afflicted by cancer. Every six months for the next thee years the vehicle must undergo a visual inspection to ensure that there is no further cracking...

Will GM be able to provide me with the re certification that they promised and that is legally required..I think not..

Where do you go from here..? roll over, drive it, and pray...
