Paint peel from the inside of the arches is common but I've not seen it creep into the exterior finish. Steve.

I'm guessing I'll get the same, ironic as I've not used a jet wash on it, must've been when it was at landrover  Darren |

Common problem.
The inside of the spats are normally not painted, what paint is there is over spray. The insides are not prepped to take paint so the over spray will just flake off. Happened on my 110 but it never affected the outside of the spat. Had the 110 checked by a very good paint shop local to me and he confirmed it was normal, they do a lot of work on Defenders, and then they promptly removed all the flaking paint so I could not complain

Front bulkhead (although Land Rover tried to say it was stonechips), 2 mirror arms, 2 headlight surrounds, clutch & slave cylinder, oil leak behind the injector pump, complete central locking system, Heated Rear Screen, front wheel bearing & drive shaft.
Not good for Land Rover, this is 3.5 weeks work in the last 3 months! |

And it's booked in for a rear wheel bearing and something major in the steering, either the column uj or steering box. They also suspect the steering pre-loads need doing too.....
