Glad you found that sooner rather than later!

Out of interest how old is the car and do you live near the coast?

It looks like a part thats at least 10 years old

To be honest I spotted them while viewing to buy . Car is a nov 03 .... 3 fresh rolls of copper required . Even the front pipes are rotten behind the splash guards . Common enough requirement but what pisses me off is how did they let it though test .. That pipe in pic is RL to RR cradle pipe . At least they easy fitted that's tomorrow night sorted !

My car is 10 years old and the pipes look nearly new. No winter use in my 5 years of ownership has probably helped.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at tbh - is that a brake line / pipe ? Pretty scary if it is

Across the rear subframe and as the pipes enter and exit the tunnel the routes the pipes and battery lead seem to be areas that degrade the quickest.
Driving up here where they love salting the roads is a problem
