Not much time on my hands at the minute, but a spare hour this afternoon and I used it to have a look at the rear arches.
Lots of mud and muck under the lips cleared out, quite a bit of flaking paint and metal removed. I've seen worse, so short term Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 applied to stem the spread. Long term I'll wave my welding wand and replace, but that's 5 + years away before they are a real issue.
I had a look at the brake/clutch fluid which looks a bit old and thin, so I have a Gunson Eezibleed on route with some brake fluid, have to order everything online now as I'm grounded and the shops are shut anyway.

Please research the forum BEFORE doing any 240 brake bleeding. There are unusual issues.
1. The EXACT sequence of nipples to bleed.
2. Having I think it is the rear end of the car, axle stand stood / hoisted up high, to avoid air bubble(s) in a junction block / valve.
3. Avoid disturbing the master cylinder and/or servo.
4. Possibly other stuff.
Enjoy the research.
