Yeah they all rust there, the rust gets between the two layers of metal and is impossible to get out. Your cars going to rust away just like the rest of ours are. Smear some waxoyl on it to try and slow it down until you get it done properly.

James- Can I ask where you take it to get bodywork done? And above all (from my perspective) are prices reasonable?

Thanks... May well give him a shout in the New Year. By the way, talking about Birdham, I was told the other day about a P & C down there that's been parked up a while just rotting away- apparently you can't miss it(!)

Pass through Chichester reasonably regularly at weekends- parents live in Fishbourne. Unfortunately that usually means taking wife and three kids with me, which means that we have to take the family car. If it's just me, I'll usually take the Deuche!

Never buy a modern Citroen
I just replaced the front headlamp on mothers pluriel. What an arse of a job.
The fuckwit who designed it obviously forgot bulbs blow from time to time
