Thought the other thread is a bit old and want to sort of consolidate the various rust threads! Au's are only getting older and rusting more by now.
Anyway here are some Locations:(Sourced from other threads to merge) Under Rear Taillights: Battery Tray Area: More under rear light rust: And more: need more of Utes..

Yes, and fortunately like an English car that's been "salted" it mostly rusts outwards, so the repair is not too bad. But a total design fail, even the XK was smarter.
