Strange, i was sure they went back to galv chassis like the old'uns. I was definatly told mine was galv and its an 04 plate....gonna go and have a poke about now!

Check the rear cross-member, especially the inside of it.
I took mine back to the franchised dealer and had a moan. They recoated it, but didn't bother with the inside where the rust was :shock:
Sorted it out myself in the end with the aid of a large tin of Waxoyl.

I'm not sure what their reputation is like as I've no personal experience, but TJC have been doing exactly this kind of work for a long while now.
May be worth a look..

That's interesting. Hadn't heard of TJC before but having had a look at their "Build Zone" it looks very much like the sort of thing I'm after.
Thanks :D

btw I have used them before, They did some work on my 50th 90 a few years ago when I first got it and that work I couldn't fault. No experience of rebuild work though.
