Hi Graham.
Enjoy driving it. I have two pre-facelift 2.5 Elites and both are still going. I have done all the mechanics and welding myself over the years.
Removing the sill covers is a definite as well as a careful examination of the front chassis legs as suggested. Also take out the spare wheel and have a look at the bottom of the wheel well for rust.
I would take the car to a "friendly" garage and ask them to get it up on a car lift so that you can have a good look underneath.
Checking out the exhaust system from catalysts to the back.
