The time has come to buy a new MIG welder.
After discovering that the progressively worsening knocking coming from the rear of my 300 td was not just a worn subframe bush but in actual fact the rear section that the bush is bolted to has come adrift!
After much head scratching I decided that the best course of action, financially, is to invest in a new MIG and tackle the job in hand myself rather than paying someone else to do the job.
I am looking for a reasonable but cheap MIG to do the job and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations based on experience. I am looking at around the £180 mark and am thinking of a gas MIG or a combi (gas / no gas)
There seem to be quite a few models around for that price range. I did have a Sealy mig mate but threw it out a couple of years ago because it finally packed up and always seemed to have endless problems with wire feed and rarely gave a good weld.
Any help would be much appreciated.
