Mat - you might find what I've just found (see below).

On further inspection, my OSR is not as good as it seemed on first sight. I've now bent the flaky bits back with a flat screwdriver and it looks like this (1st pic below). I'm not sure what to do now because I was planning a complete rear end overhaul, including a new subframe.

I'm convinced the jacking pads are to blame for most of the corrosion - they trap water. It's not hard to tell which of these pads was in the offside rear position.
What to do next?
