My mate just welded up the usual spots at the rear end of both sills on my Peugeot 405 and as I discovered a 5 litre tin of waxoyl and compressed air applicator i squirrelled away over ten years ago in the recesses of my shed. Is there access to the "back"/"inside" of the sill to blow waxoyl on the inside cavity of the weld if I prise off the plastic trim/carpet inboard of the door or is it better to drill 10mm holes in the sill apply waxoyl and then knock in peugeot fir tree fasteners?
Photo before welding!
there are bungs in the end of the sill.
However you risk blocking the drain holes.
What i always do on a welding job is cut away old rusty stuff. Use weld through primer (expensive but worth it) before welding that way protects everything inside. Then weld up. But otherwise as welshpug said just bang it through a hole if youre concerend

If you're worried the Waxoil's too thick spray something thinner down there. Old engine oil and diesel is the old trick. The diesel is that thin it'll soak righ into any rust, even in a seem. Parking it somewhere for a bit afterwards is the only problem. If it's wet you'll leave rainbows everywhere you go
I've just bought an SRDT as it happens. Had a couple of 405's over the years and they've always been good to me

attachment=29112]Paul I agree the 405 estate is practical, I have a brace of them nad and td, Im going to take your advice.
ps this is rather embarrassing but i just cannot find the paint code anywhere, it may be pearlescent, just says green on the log book,
It should be a 4 letter code. All the one's I've seen are on the strut top.
strut tops, boot, door inners...all my other 405s had a 4 digit code...the only thing on this is the yellow stencil on passenger side suspension turret... I need paint as fuel flap plastic hinge broken and replacement is red!
