Hi, I just bought a 1997 Disco with 70K on the clock. I spent all day cleaning it and when I removed the mud, I found some interesting things. This is the rust that I found next to the rear mud flap. Not best pleased

I've got some of that as well, but the bolt has already punched through on mine (so it's cable-tied)

I've got a RRC that looks like those pictures, fortunatley the repair panels are quite cheap.  Should be fixing it now really :?

I've just fitted rocksliders to my 95, 300tdi, 3 door and part of the installation involved undoing the retaining pop rivets (not original I might add) along the bottom edge of the rear wing (in front of the rear wheel). I stuck my hand in and out dropped about 1/3 of a bucket of dried mud. It was stuck in the cavity behind the wing and was filling the hidden sill face. Now all clean and waxoyled, 'till next time I decide to clean it out.

It's a perfect spot to trap mud and moisture, slowly eating away at the rear box section of sill. Be warned.
