Inner wings and MOT!!!

This might sound like a daft question but here goes!!

It's MOT time and my Disco has some corrosion on the inner wings. It is around the holes that secure the plastic clips which in turn secure the plastic wing liners in the wheel arch. Now, as the wing is covered in holes of various sizes from new as well as big slots etc, and are obviously not a structural or load bearing thing, will I get pulled up at the MOT for the corrosion?

Any pointers would help.

I'm thinking of removing the clips, grinding away the corrosion, treating, re-protecting and then re-securing the arch liner using penny washers sized to fit as required (with stainless bolts).

Thanks guys

Edit - Just to make myself a little clearer! By inner wing, I mean the inner wheel arch/wing, not the vertical inner part of the front wings.

What I do with a vehicle that i think will have issues come MOT time is take it to my local garage and ask them to do a MOT check. Not a test, but a check.

If they do a test, (as in, log onto the DOT system, running it through as a MOT), and it fails, then your kippered. If they jus go through the motions of checking the things that will effect its MOT, and they point out things that it will fail on, then your alright.

Personally, I think that would be a fail, but I'm no expert.

I'm in the same boat as you, with major tin worm problems, including the inner front wings. Another chap on here pointed me owards this website; YRM Metal Solutions - Parts - Discovery/Range Rover

They seem a hell of a lot cheaper than Paddocks, and at only £30+VAT and delivery for a inner front wing section, I'd say it was a bit of a bargin.

Hope that helps.

get it muddy before you take it covers some of the holes an they wont pick cos its a lanny worked for me

If the corrosion is within 30cm of the brake servo, then it's a fail.
