What problems (if any) have people had with rust on there freelanders?
My sills are looking a bit fragile. Passed MOT this year but definatly wont last untill next. I was thinking of patching them but it will look naff with all the lumps and bumps so perhaps passing on a few pound notes to me mate to replace and paint 2x new sills on.
The bottom of me fish tank may be the next culprit too. Although that wont matter for the MOT and the rear corner of the doors are starting to go.
Might be worth getting the old girl sandblasted and waxoiled to prevent it getting any worse and chucking some old engine oil down the doors.
Does anyone else have problems with rust yet or is it just because my freelander came from the depths of the fens where they dont have proper tarmac roads and so no-one washes there cars
