need some advice please...
I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.
I've suspected for some time now that my other half has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my other half. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel arch.
Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I buy some stuff from Halfords and try to repair it myself?

I would certainly sit and think long and hard about this one!
Halfords could be a big mistake

Re: need some advice please...
Wow this is a monster of a problem. When I was but 18, and had my first car, as you are back then I thought "how hard can it be? Bit of spray paint and robert is your mother's brother". Big mistake. It is very hard indeed to do yourself and when you get it wrong, everyone else can look at your motor and say, "yup, he did that himself!"
Get the pro's in - its money well spent.
