you can ignore it, the rustworm need to eat something and theve nearly  eaten all the BL sh!te that was ever made.

or pay lots of money to have it fixed,  often ends up been quicker and easyer to swap the whole CAR out imo

Worth doing if you can do it yourself, not so much if you have to pay someone else to fix it though.

Scrap the c*nt.

2 lady owners ain't worth sh*t in the face of rampant sill rot.

Then buy a TDI G3 as it won't have the poxy sill covers, which have caused the problem in the first place.

thanks for all the info took it to garage and he said i shouldnt worry about it until the mot which is next year but i told him i was concerned as i dont want the whole car to rot he advised me to go to a welder place which i did he said he would look at it thursday for me i asked him how much is it for a full replacement sill he quoted me £60 labour each one and 20 each for the sill itself so altogether £160 for both sides but odviousley this could be more cheaper if it isnt as bad as the whole sill rotting i dont think its too badly priced as regards to looking into how much work is needed to replace the sills itself theres a few other bits of rust which i have grinded and treated with rust killer hopefully after this crap is done with things should be better as i dont want to part with it travelled 160 miles to pick it up and dont fancy car hunting again
