Arrg! On top of everything else recently, my car has decided to start corroding away!

Got two spots in the same place on both sides of the car. On the cill right next to the rear wheel. Great! My car is a '99 so I take it I am out of manufactures warranty?

They are just bubbles in the paint at the moment, will post up some pics later if it stops raining. Is it a big job for a spray shop or can it be sorted quite cheaply?

If it's just bubbles then it should be cheap to sort. Get it done now before it gets worse.

It's a 12 year warranty so I'd say you're just out of it unfortunately - worth asking a dealer anyway saying it's so close the cars shouldn't rust as soon as they're out of warranty Smile

Cheers Lexuspat, yeah I have had no end of problems with my car recently. Its doing my head in, and so close to selling it. Foung out I have key cover on my car insurance though, so going to try put a claim in for the broken transponder.
And now tax'd and insured for another year. Taking it for MOT once I got my rear shock sorted, and then its just a case of rust to get sorted asap. Then i might actually be able to spend some money on modifcations rather then keeping it on the road! LOL!

Well I'm sure a lot of us with lexus go through a stage of that feeling, I for one am waiting to get the front end sprayed as I seem to have lost all the Laq on the front bumper so just slowly watching it get worse
