never heard of sills on a freelander failing before
Not with me, I've dropped the car off at a friends. He's began sorting my issues out for me, as I've had enough of cars for the moment (after restoring a mini!!)
The tester said it was within 30cm of my seat belt mounts.
The place were the worst rot is, is below my rear drivers side door.

Drain holes are they in the jacking points ?

I have seen 3 rusty ones now. 1 was a 98 model, and had already been patched before I bought it, on the passenger sill at the rear
Another was where the side step had been poorly fitted, and rubbed off all the paint on an early TD4.
The 3rd was an 02 plate TD4, with low miles, but both sills were completely ####ed at the back ends...

Freelanders don't rust! Ask the eggsperts!

Yep. The plastic cover that clips on the jacking point fills with mud that effectively blocks the drain holes!! This would cause rust.

Mine was caked with mud. The freelander was abused before i got her, it wasnt looked after too well. nothing was checked or serviced!
