Spent the morning out in the cold today stripping out the wheel arch liner and having a good clean and check in the r/h wing area and now wish I hadn’t
. I don’t have any rust blisters on the outside of the wing (yet) but unfortunately there is a fair bit on the inside were the wheel arch liner rubs the wing a the corner that is causing all the problems, it is also worn a small line about 2/3 the way round the inside edge almost round to the rear attachment bracket. I put this down to a badly fitting wheel arch liner and or not enough paint on the inside of the wing mixed with grit and vibration over time. Not sure were to go with it now as the 3 year inspection was not carried out by the former owner and it will be 5 years old next April. Going to put some rust treater on it for now but this is by no means a long term fix. Have taken some pics if anyone is interested.
