i had y61 2.8 and they rot at the rear of the sills in to the arch, open back passinger doors to look for rot on wheel arch. its hard to explain were im talking of but if there is rot there you will see it imediatly

under plastic trip on wheel arch to the rear (both sides) these never get removed and mud + salt collect there so put your fingers under and feel for rot VERY SLOWLY.. if its old expect it to be sharp.

also think they for on the back double door seal at the top, pull it back and have a look if you can

get under and look at boot floor where possible

great bus by the way and a good choice

also 4k is very realistic.. i sold mine 18month ago for 1800 quid there will be other nob heads giving them away..lol
