Lifting the boot floor carpet in an early Discovery is a bit like being the central character in a horror movie scene. You know the one where there’s something spine chillingly gruesome in the next room, but inside of running as fast as possible in the opposite direction the hero inevitably opens the door. You could well find something frightening under a Discovery boot floor carpet in the shape of rust hole caused by annual exposure to the ravages of winter road salt and inadequate rust proofing. And eventually you too will have to take the plunge and have a look the MOT tester will from underneath. Cue the scary scene setting music.
Fortunately you can be a hero and rescue a Discovery. If the rust holes are minor it might be possible to cut them out and weld in patches, but the chances are it’ll need v new floor which predictably, our Project Discovery did. Although, it was nowhere near as bad as some I’ve seen.
