Good day all :) My wife bought herself a 1.2 8v GP late Dec 06 and after having the recalls done on the knee plate and back doors the car is a little cracker (y) this morning tho while checking the oil and water I have noticed that on the back of the engine directly ender the cylinder head on the left hand side there is considerable rust starting to appear on the engine block its self :eek: I know this car has very little in the way of under body protection such as a under tray [T14 ;)] so am I worrying unneccesarily here or should I start cleaning this off and painting the block as best I can with the likes of hammerite to contain the rust.:chin:
 
its iron, surface rust is nothing to worry about, it wont rust through

I realise its an iron block but I still think it looks unsightly :yuck: so when the warmer weather comes in I will be under there with a brush and paint :D thanks for the reply (y)
