The more I clean this up, the more I think the whole lot needs cutting /grinding out & replacing with new. I am having to concede that it likely needs professional & probably costly input. Now see the bump stop is made up of two pieces, one cup facing up & one down.
Where the whole lot meets the inner part of the N/S wheel arch (red arrow) is a mess ... 2-3 mm of thick scaly rust trapped between the two surfaces. The more you look at it the more you think it's a s**t design, and it's clear Peugeot didn't bother putting any kind of anti-corrosion protection up in that area.
There are a couple of other small areas that have rusted through on the N/S wheel arch but nothing to get stressed about & the rest of the underside only has some surface rust, so in the scheme of things I'm grateful for that.
Looking on Servicebox I can't see the bump stop mounts anywhere in the bodywork section. I'm guessing new ones will have to be 'fabri-cobbled' (an AVE quote for any watchers in the house!).
