Xsara or C4 Picasso?

Must be a Xsara Picasso as its a 2002.

It's a well known problem on the Xsara Pic - I don't think replacement sills are available, so you'll just have to get someone to weld patches on them. Ours had a hole in it about about 3" wide, and a foot long, and the thinned part stretched back half way along the sill. It was only 7 years old There's some sort of water trap that means they rot from the inside out.
