Hi All,
Just a quick bit of advice really. I recently picked up a 1998 Xantia Estate which is in quite immaculate condition except for some major bubbling on the rear wheel arches directly above the wheels (some of the bubbles are near 2cm across...) Now I guess that once I get down through the paintwork, the outer panel will be quite bad and needing patching but how to get to the other side of the panel to patch it properly?
Is it a case of trying to remove the inner panel around the wheel arch or could I go in through the boot to gain access? Haynes manual doesn't really cover it....
Thanks

Ay up!
I've got the same prob in mine but in the outer wing and only on the nearside!
Any advice gratefully received.
