It's funny that you should ask.......but the constipation has definitely gone.
Went to the doc and told him I had a genetic disease.
He says 'What disease is that?'
Told him 'Diarrhea'
He say 'That's not a genetic disease!'
I said, 'Well it is, cos it's in my Jeans'.

Playing music by Dire Straits and Chris Rea together is another way to get diarrhoea.

Corrosion spot on M49 is the scuttle under the windscreen from my experience. I guess M59 is the same. . You could shine a torch through plastic vent and if full of dead leaves etc remove wiper arms and the two piece plastic vent, I seem to remember that the quarter turn clips which secure it down go opposite way to how I expected to unfasten. There are also small torx screws on the outside ends of the vents. Once removed the scuttle can be cleaned out properly and drain holes checked with a hose. C15 has the same problem but unlike M49 & M59 but that rusts everywhere else as well

It's probably much quicker to list the bits on a C15 that don't rust...which is anything plastic really. The rest of it, you can hear rusting away, like a Fiat.

When we had a C15 Romahome I rebuilt the scuttle and the bottom of the windscreen aperture due to rust. It wasnt difficult, just laborious.
