Mmmm this has come off !
This was on the floor when I got back from work. It's dropped off from the passenger side (RHD drive) and must've fell off yesterday.
I've had a look and can't see anything obvious. The plate is quite heavy gauge but was held in place with 3 screws as opposed to 3 bolts.
Any ideas ???

I think that's from behind one of your wheels and is the spigot that you put the jack under; one behind each wheel. Bizarre that it would drop off like that.
You've got to keep tightening stuff on these cars, e.g. check the studs on your head b/c they can come loose easily, too.

I'll get underneath and have a good look around tomorrow

Considering the condition of the jacking buttons that started this thread, I'll be watching mine Very closely!

Elinor, given the location of pnwrs2000 I suspect those jacking points have been ravaged over the years by salted roads. Ours are less likely to rust to that extent, but still worth keeping an eye on!

Ouch! The thing is falling apart. The rust monster has feasted, indeed.
Grinder and welder??? How far out/in can you go with the grinder to get healthy meta???
And, as we all know rust don't weld worth a hoot.
Perhaps a clamping plate on the other side might provide. enough heft to
bolt the jack plate back on.
And, is there enough of it left to use????

That will need addressing with a grinder and welder. When you attack it with a grinder I suspect it will be a lot worse than you think.
Cut all the rot out until you get back to good metal. Make some plates up and weld or take it to a good welder.
It's a structural area so would fail the MOT test here.
Sorry....

Whoa! That's not meant to come off like that! That looks like it might have rusted from inside, below the rear seat? Water can gather in the seat well if you have a rear Window leak, may it's made its way down to side above that. I could be completely wrong however. I hope that your rust removal goes well with out too many surprises.
