A friend had his front gearbox mount welded up due to two of the four bolt that holds it are strip.I was wondering if there is anything wrong with this thanks.

Welded to the underside of the van? Nothing wrong as such apart from being a little trickier to align if/when you change gearbox. Bit of a numbnut thing to do though when it wouldn't have been very difficult to extract the studs in the first place. Hope that helps.
