Haha, mostly on the driveway after I put my finger through it last weekend...
Both front chassis rails were the fail. The bulkhead rust was an advisory. Makes me giggle when people say 306s don't rust.
Other fails were -
Both number plate lights - I reckon the plug has fallen out, can't see both lamps failing together myself
Rear shock mount has excessive play - Sam needs to order new sleeve for the other shock anyway so can order new mount at the same time
OS Steering rack gaiter split - We haven't even looked under the front end so didn't know about that. I think Bash has supplied a new gaiter, I've never fitted one but guess it's fairly straight forward if the TRE comes off alright.
Other advisories were:
Front pads getting low - Fairly sure Sam already has replacements to go on
Slight play OS TRE - Cheap and easy to replace
Slight play NS inner rack joint - not sure what to think about that one, guess they're not expensive to replace.
Could be an ideal chance to fit a VTS rack instead of repairing this one but that is obviously up to Sam.
