I think I've seen that part your referring to but its in the middle and further down is that right? Its not as rusted as that one in that thread..

You don't need to lift the boot! That's the rear of the car...The rad support is at the front of the car.

Well I found a mechanic through Facebook who works from home and is a mobile mechanic. well he said basically National were lieing - the front radiator support panel yes it does have rust which is slightly peeling off but its not severe and theres enough support that your radiator wouldn't just fall off, so in his opinion don't replace it and it doesn't need doing. The back brakes that National said were both 'binding' well one of them wasn't binding at all and the driver side one was binding as the piston is catching in the brake caliper, so he took it apart cleaned it, copper silled it and basically then refitted it. Can't recommend him enough! I then watched and it wasn't catching nowhere as much as before. He obviously told me that eventually i will need to replace the caliper but this should fix it for a good 6 months. All in all a good £40 spent as I was worried about using a mechanic who visits you at home but he is really good tbf
