RUST
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 12:27 am
Took my van in to have a new tyre the other afternoon. I was invited to show it at the local car show cos they were having an alternative energy stand - one of the tyres was border line legal so thought I'd best replace it!
The tyre place put it up on the lift and I took the opportunity to have a look underneath. Shock horror - RUST. I didn't get a very good look but the fuel tank box and the shields around the various pipes and brake cables look BAD. Further investigation required.
Is the fuel tank housed within the box or is that the actual tank? There doesn't seem to be a great deal of metal involved. Would these be parts to get from Citroen or would I need to remortgage the house?
