Thought the other thread is a bit old and want to sort of consolidate the various rust threads! Au's are only getting older and rusting more by now.
Anyway here are some Locations:(Sourced from other threads to merge) Under Rear Taillights:    Battery Tray Area:  More under rear light rust:  And more:  need more of Utes..

Cowl rust, looking forward and left through the cabin air intake, the plain silver rod in the background is the aerial.
 I’ll leave it to the moderators to paste this photo above into another collated post. |

Yes, and fortunately like an English car that's been "salted" it mostly rusts outwards, so the repair is not too bad. But a total design fail, even the XK was smarter.
