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

SteveG:
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.
