An Ifor Williams HB506 brought to the workshop, by a new-to-us customer, all the way from Essex, after discovering the dreaded panel rot, next to and under the groom's door. It also meant that the door frame was flapping about, making the door very difficult to open and close.
The only way you can buy a replacement panel, from Ifor Williams, is as a groom's door and panel kit: Part number KS309RL-06D at around £388 + vat. That's just the panel kit, not the labour, not the fixtures or fittings. This lady was quoted £850 for the work to be done locally. We were confident we could do better.
We took off the metalwork and trim panels then carefully removed the rotten wood and glue, back to the internal aluminium skin. A new piece of GRP panel was cut to size and bonded to the original skin and all the metalwork was refitted. The panel is now solid again, the door works perfectly and the only sign of repair is the small trim piece inside. Whilst with us it was given a full service too.
