Default Surface rust on the S2k (Midlands)

Afternoon gents,

I trust you're all keeping well and sane during these unusual times.

I had my MOT (thankfully it passed) but they did give me an advisory for surface rust on suspension and steering components. I know there's going to be more of it hidden away so i'm under no illusion that in a few years time it'll need some surgery.

Being the pro-active cat I am, I'm keen to take it to a professional and get it dealt with ASAP. Can any of you recommend anyone in the midlands / MK areas who you've used or have heard is reputable?

Thank you, JB

I have just booked mine into www.pro-tectservices.co.uk who are based in MK and are highly regarded with the work they do.

They aren't cheap though!

Full undersealing, I don't have any rot on the chassis, I have lots of rust on the subframes etc which will all be cleaned and treat and sealed. They are having the car for 3-4 days.

Are we talking thousands or hundreds Robin?

My supercharged one warrants some of this treatment I think
