   I have a few patches of rust in the boot, very small but noticeable, what's the best way to get rid / cover it?

   Sand it down and paint it?
   Where abouts in the boot? 0.o

   Trouble is it's on the side, but right at the floor, so awkward to get to right in the corner.
   I'll try and get some photos next time I get a chance, where would be the best place to get some paint?

   im guessing you are on about the arches where they meet the boot floor, very common on saxos.
   If its just surface rust then sand it down and cover in rusteaze or another anti rust product and then just paint over

   Yeah that's where I meant, hard to explain.

   If the rust is bad, which it usually is there. You are better off grinding it out and welding a patch in
