As this is the Maintenance thread, I thought I'd share this with those who are interested.
Further to my Fuel Tank Shield replacement, I have attached a few photos for those interested in viewing the state of a shield that is 8 years old, 55k on the clock and garaged day and night when car isn't being used.
The new shield has been treated on both sides with several coats of a rubberised solution, Granville Underbody Seal Schutz.
Total cost.....£310 including shield and sealant.
If anyone has a link to making a complaint to LR about this then it would be appreciated if you could forward it to me.
Happy Motoring.
