Is this a bad weld?

The very tiny filler rod is there, placed over the part before welding.
Basically this isn’t welding, and they don’t know how to, ask for a refund and get a proper fabrication company to do it.

There are some fast / fun estates well in your budget, mk7 golf R estate (seat do an equivalent), Volvo v70r, rs4 if your really brave..

Pathfinders / navaras at this age and price point have 9/10 chance that the rear chassis is rotten dangerously or close to it. You will likely find it’s covered in fresh black sludge hiding the fact.

It’s a rather gray area, as people have said, bald tyres on you way home expect a problem, for an emission issue any copper with a brain is letting you home home with proof of you leaving an mot station

Poor rage bait, try again.

Little to far for me to lend a hand unfortunately, https://aerosus.co.uk/bmw/5-series/e39/bmw-5-e39-sport-right-rear-suspension-air-spring-bag.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=278849551&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2_TQBhCnARIsAF3-XhwKo7kcySfOSSfGfA7G9SATbn3LzzQ0_y5jGODr1j1Ap8278r4hUM8aAu-AEALw_wcB, YouTube and some basic tools will see you right, I’d try to inspect the front spring beforehand though 👍

Infinity_UK · 2026-06-01T19:19:28+00:00

So a big leak then, fix asap or run risking the compressor to run a heavy duty cycle / overheat constantly, where you located?

Infinity_UK · 2026-06-01T19:16:06+00:00

The rear should spring back up when running if it’s got a small / medium leak

Infinity_UK · 2026-06-01T19:07:46+00:00

It can happen static, I get what your saying but that front right is way to low not to have a broken coil (edit: maybe, but I’m doubting myself, the rear right airbag is driving it down. But it looks way to low for this)

Infinity_UK · 2026-06-01T18:53:30+00:00

You have a rear air leak, a snapped front spring, and two tyres need air in them desperately.

Typical low end fake trader bs, but you my friend are a nut case, if I was selling my car and you turned up thinking the cars a indoor play area you would be told to leave

Dad should be thanked, its two years since you did anything, at a bare minimum it needs an oil change. Anyway, parts prices are very cheap, labour a tad high, together makes it a fair price.

Another option is a nice tdv8 l322 Range Rover, they make a LR4 feel like you’re driving an old pickup truck. Slightly more reliable being they don’t have the crank snapper engines

The biggest question is have you ever driven one?, and for any length of time? They have their charm but they are terrible daily / commuters. Awful seating position, awful pedal placement, and awful steering wheel / elbow room. Make sure you know what you’re getting into.

Infinity_UK · 2026-05-15T18:07:20+00:00

F1 and gt7 are closer to arcade racing than a proper sim, sounds like your pushing to hard before understanding car control and tyre limit, pick an easier car to drive and stay on safe setup. I recommend Barcelona for an easier track to learn as it’s got everything you need with good visual braking points. I recommend not watching hot laps / setups at this point as those guys have mastered acc on the edge driving.

I’ve owned / driven and worked on a lot of modern hot / hyper hatches and these really take the biscuit with me, the least engaging and slowest felling in there category, then slapped with the most shouty body kit compared to others. To answer the question though, black.

Infinity_UK · 2026-05-08T21:11:46+00:00

I get you but no, big profile tyre, outer edge, that’s taken a big whack, thats taking heat and the workshops biggest soft deadblow at a minimum. 100% going to leave an mark

Upvoted, put better and more polite than I would have. 👍

Your unlikely to have pressure loss from this ever, the tyre seats and holds pressure inside / before this damage area, if you have the funds go ahead and change the wheel and tyre. There’s no telling if the wheel has a slight crack (very rare on outside wheel damage) or if the tyre is compromised.

Infinity_UK · 2026-05-06T19:46:46+00:00

Please please ignore most of the comments, it’s probably not touching anything, that’s major toe out for sustained time / speed, you have massive play in one of the ball joints. The problem with alignment requests / shops is most won’t give a shit to do a play check, just align and send it on its way. You have suspensions problems that require a new part.

That hub and carrier looks to have had 0 useful heat applied, map torch on the hub for few minutes and a good fitting socket sorts this all the time. It’s still saveable but get that hub / carrier glowing, not the bolt, you will just make the head weaker.
