Rust, an insatiable car-killer and the scourge of every motorist, is as big a problem now as it ever was. Each year rust eats its way through millions of vehicles and devours millions of pounds, straight out of the motorists' pocket.
In a special report, Top Gear investigates what manufacturers are doing to beat the problem. Sue Baker looks at how Vauxhall has taken nearly 20 years to lose its image for producing cars that rust, and visits Lancia in Turin, currently fighting to win back its reputation.
And are rust guarantees worth the paper they're printed on? William Woollard checks out the consumers' rights, and examines the controversial, highly competitive world of rust-proofing services.

A Fair Day's Fiddle
'These flats are due for demolition. If somebody says I could do with a hand basin or a new kitchen unit and then goes and helps himself, strictly speaking that's stealing. But one could almost see it as good stewardship of materials.' (THE LOCAL VICAR) Liverpool, a major battleground over Government cuts, is witnessing another rebellion, quieter and without any political ballyhoo. Thousands of families are refusing to accept that unemployment should lead to a sharp drop in their living standards. In this film, the residents of one council estate talk frankly about a thriving unofficial economy supported by fiddling electricity meters, working on the side or going 'on the slummy' - removing copper and other valuable scrap metals from nearly derelict flats.
'My kids'll get the best, the best of everything, by hook or by crook, and while you're on the dole it's by crook.' (HARRY)

David Inshaw belongs to a great tradition of English Romantic Painting - the tradition of Stanley Spencer, Samuel Palmer and the Pre-Raphelites. His most famous painting 'The Badminton Game' now hangs in the Tate Gallery. For years he was a member of the Brotherhood of Ruralists, a group of painters, among them Peter Blake, preoccupied with English pastoral themes. But Inshaw's pictures tell their own story - of people, places and objects meticulously and magically recalled. Abandoning conventional interviews and commentary, tonight's film offers a journey into David Inshaw's haunting, imaginative world.
