Continuing the de-rust clearup underneath the tourer, mostly surface rust so far although the rear nearside valance (underneath the bumper and behind wheel arch) literally crumbled in my hands whilst the offside one is solid except one small rust hole! Also managed to shear off both tow bar bolts whilst trying to remove the ball as I was using the wire brush on the grinder. These are huge bolts so i was amazed they broke so 'easily' with the breaker bar. Replacements ordered!! Happy Jubilee all
