i've seen it in the following locations, under side window, on the door, in the door sill (under the door), on the lip of the rear guards, around windscreen and back window (often a sign the windscreen has been removed as the paint will get scratched when taking it out).

Have rust in the boot around where the spare tyre is located in, due to water leaking into the boot from the tail light area & then collecting itself around that area.

Using CRC spray I managed to remove most of the rust.

I had major rust in my boot from leaky taillights. Fixed the lights (I think). Rust was a pain and there was more than I thought. Went right through in some areas. All fixed now. Sanded out, patched up and repainted.

Still have some minor rust elsewhere. Hopefully no more that I don't know about.

Some down where the A pillars meet the fenders and go under. A bit in each rear wheel well, right above the wheels. Probably from shit being thrown up and wearing the paint.

i've got a bubble on my passenger door, just above the crease. size of a 10c piece. for some reason there is one single small strip of sound deadening mat stuck on the inside of the door. obviously when it rains, this mat holds water, and it's caused the rust bubble. very annoyed.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
