Base of the upward curves on the rear chassis legs is a favourite rust spot, if I recall....  Easy for water to collect inside and rust from inside outwards....

 :DWell she's home & parked on the front. Ran home a treat, all auto changes good, demisted fine, a fair kickdown (used to my V6 manual) did'nt try sport button but it lights up when stood so should work on the move. Sits & brakes straight.

  Bad points.

Needs a ball joint, maybe two.
Handbrake doing nothing, switch lights up on dash so hopefully it's a snapped cable.
All 4 leccy windows not working, switches have been taken out, rewired but when you press any button the yellow light dims but no windows move so we have power.
Needs rocker cover gasket.
Battery needs securing.
Fuel pump noisy, can hear it whiring away when stood but not on move, a mate said it's ok.

With filters, fluids, plugs etc. should be a good old bus. Looking forward to giving her a thorough valet.
She's got the 8v engine so cambelt & waterpump easy enough. 116,500 mls no history.
    
    All suggestions welcome.

       Cheers, Guy. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
