Nice one. As you say, the fix won't be permanent, but you can stave it off for longer by blowing through the rubber hose with carb cleaner as well.
Cleaned under my sills and found bits o'rust so I scratchbrushed and jenolited. Hope to start to cover it up tomorrow with some primer, before I clear lacquer and wax over it.
Not a long term fix I know but hope to slow down the progress a bit.
Gave it a good wash on Sunday and black waxed last night so it looks pretty good right now. Took some photos which I'll post soon.
I do need to polish the headlights though . . .

Lift the long plastic trims that cover the edge of the carpet/door seals. This will reveal holes that go straight into the sills.
Get an injectible sealer (something with a narrow, flexible wand) and go to town in there.

Excellent news. Have fun!
Decided to get down an dirty on what has probably been the hottest day of the year and that sun was at the back of my head all day.
Had DG lifted on passenger side to do some maintainence and a general check all round. All good under there so i got the old black caliper paint out and cleaned some crap off before splashing the subframe and tidying up the Eibachs and hub carriers.

Fitted US style grill, had a go at using the 3m head light referb kit but 30 year old black and decker kept slipiing into hammer mode so took 4 hours to do one and still has a few marks on it so new drill and new kit for another try.
you can buy diy refil kits now from halfords....and i can confirm they do work well
Just washed it. Now its drizzling so wax will get done either later in the cave, or tomorrow in a field somewhere near Leeds.

We hired a van off them to move house.
Cheap, but I think RSM really stands for Rent Sh*tty Motors
Fitted Double Din Sony head unit along with my old Sony remote column changer, got a DD fitting kit off Ebay which takes up the gap either side of the unit then some cutting with a Dremil saw to the inside lip of the suround top and bottom, about 5mm off both then unit slide in nice and tight, got the head unit from Halfrauds for £129, wiring adapt £11, ariel adapter £2, new ariel £11, DD adapter kit was via Ebay from the US for about £10 plus postage, Sony remote column change units are still out there for about £45 and fit 99% of Sony head units.
Thanks.
