   Hi i jacked my car up today and noticed the driverside rear wheel has a fair bit of rust on the axel and main frame of the car. I have no idea how rusty cars get so i have took some pictures and was wondering if anybody could tell me if i have something to worry about or is this normal . cheers craig

   When your last mot??? Looks just surface, it prob worth cleaning back to metal, using some rust treatment and hammerite/waxoil it

   I`ve seen a lot worse than this wire brush off make the metal shiney then underseal it.
