He did say it would require cutting out the rust and welding a plate to replace it.

Going to be cleaning the engine bay at the weekend (as long as it doesn't rain), I've found a few threads with a few tips. Has any one got any other tips they can give me?

Will post a before and after picture when complete!!

Attempted to clean the engine bay today, although i didn't have access to a hose or anything similar. had to use plenty of elbow grease instead :D :lol: didn't get to finish, but here is the progress.

BEFORE

AFTER

i also took the car down to a tyre shop as there is a slight pull when accelerating / driving - suspected it was the tracking however he said it was fine. although i did find out i have a mixture of winter / normal tyres .... just an excuse to get my a new set of wheels sooner than i had planned :D :D

Your arches are the same as mine in the rear lol

Mines probably worse in fairness :(

Have a good hoke in the inner arch though, i ended up having chunks of metal literally fall out on me over a little outer arch rust lol
