   Use the search button and have a look around on here.
   
   It's a really common place for rust, under the ECU and under the fuse box. It's relatively simple to get repaired and most garages will do it for you.
   
   Search and you will find

   once you get it welded up, treat the car to por15, dinitrol or whatever rust solution that takes your fancy!

   not at all, with wheelarch liners in place and the ecu still bolted down you wont see anything.

   As above a tester isn`t allowed to unbolt or move anything,unless they can visably see rot within 30cm of a load bearing/safety component then a car will pass.My saxo at low speeds has rotational knock & i`ve replaced both wishbones I think the drivers side driveshaft is shot.
