--- Quote from: "denviks" ---hi all.....i have been very busy welding up my disco.....lots of man hours have gone in to her so far.... the question i have is after thinking i had almost finished i decided to lift the carpet in the boot..... :shock: ....i wish i hadnt bothered now. the whole back end of the floor has gone....

as you can see i have made a start in making the area good. what i want to try and find out is where the rear end normally leaks from to try and solve this. looks like it has been leaking for years. im just going to make up a floor for now as a temp measure for the MOT . is there a comon place to look for a leak in the boot.? any help would be brilliant

Joint along the edge of the gutter at the back, but that is mainly trapped mud/water from below between the floor and the cross piece, look at the two further forward as well.....

BTDT, now I have a c/p cover over special ply floor, check my gallery.

Range Rover Blues:
It's entirely possible this has come through from underneath, muck trapped between the boot floor and that crossmember you can see.  Why else would it have rusted through in such a neat, straight line?

Jake:
i never thought of that  :oops:
Possible i suppose

denviks:
well things have moved on....... today i took out the plastic trim  between bumper and the door slam ( if thats what its called?).....found that the whole cross member is comletly rotten. its the bit thats hidden by the fuel tank.  i have now decided that it would be best to replace with new pannels.....ie complete new rear floor. and new cross member.  just now sure what you would call the cross member when ordering........any ideas....it runs behind the rear bumper and runs up to the rear rubber door seal......
