Hello,

Just took ownership of a 1999 Discovery 2 TD5. It came with a years MOT, but a few advisories on it. Most I can fix myself, but one of the things the tester wrote has baffled me, in all my years of motoring I have never heard the part name or have any idea what it is.

This is what he wrote.

"Front nearside fitch panel corroded"

Can anyone help me please?

Regards,
Andy.

Not heard of it myself, and can't find a hit on google either.

I'd ask your tester what he means!

Been a disco I'd say inner wing or footwell or side wall behind the plastic panel in the footwell.

Thank you very much for the help.

So I presume it will need replacing or plating?

Plating usually

I'll get my welding man to look at it at the same time he does the chassis near the towbar mount.

Thank you all for your help.
