Rust
Was looking under the back of my car today and was suprised to see lots of rust on various nuts and bolts and the arms from the silencer to the mounting rubbers. Also the steel covers around the fuel tanks had signs of surface rust.
I have painted with kurust to stop it getting worse
It doesn't bode will for longevity particularly for a car that is designed to go through mud and water

RE: Rust
Interesting that LR fixed this problem for a customer with a week old Freelander2 after What Car? has taken it on and chased them up. It's the main item in the December edition of What Car? section Help Desk. LR took the car back, cleaned off the surface corrosion and treated it to make it look nice. Hopefully What car? also advised the owner of the freelander 2 that his number plates have an llegal black screw head placed in the bottom of the plates to let us know he's called P.H55 LEY, very odd way to spell P.HEEley
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Rust
First thing I did when I got mine was to take it to work (vehicle body builders) and sprayed the drive shafts and the other areas that have been shown to show surface rust with chassis paint with a rust preventative additive!
This would be good: Waxoyl chassis paint

RE: Rust
Second day after taking delivery I had it up on the Ramp and Waxed and sealed. 10K on the clock and it still looks Brand New. Mind you it lives in the Garage and never spent a night outside.
