Had a minor niggle with the lamps, from cold they don't switch off when going back onto dipped beam. E H Douglas swapped the relay for a new one so will see how it goes.

Localish dealer swapped my light switch for a genuine one after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, bit disappointing that everything else I asked for (eg rusting bumper, loose trim in rear body) they just said "no your extended warranty doesn't cover that". Maybe not, but it would be good to ask and make sure, or offer *something* by way of courtesy.

Almost 86,000 miles now too... 2011 110 USW

Hit 86k yesterday. Still running just fine.

Getting a bit worried about this corrosion by the rear doors though, on both sides.

Great to see your having some trouble free miles, but that corrosion doesn't look good Sad 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Problem is warranty wont touch it. I'll probably get my local place to have a look. It seems to be where ally and steel are together. I did ask years ago about it but dealer didn't want to know, and that was before the corrosion warranty had expired! 2011 110 USW

At least you know that the warranty does not cover it ( yes i know the dealership does not want to know ) and you can get it sorted with someone you can trust to do the work properly Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

If you logged a fault before he end of the warranty then you can go back outside of warranty for it usually Thumbs Up Mike

Corrosion warranty only kicks in for perforated metal (ie it has to have a hole) and only lasts 5 years and cannot be extended. 2011 110 USW

So I made a fairly big change. Can't decide if I like the look. It looks a bit "delicate" to me, but I expect the surge in mpg will make up for it 😂

Hello mate, long time no see, hope all is going OK. Not that you have done this but this is an example where knowing where to treat is vital with ACF-50/Dinitrol etc. Having your chassis just blasted from underneath with Waxoyl is next to useless. Dealerships won,t know any better either. Getting them done from new or as near new as possible saves so much grief in the future. You have to get into every nook and cranny with the right product... and it is best to do it yourself.

This area is constantly wet, caused mainly by leaking and a mud trap from underneath. Pressure wash in this area underneath and it will come up through inside as it just has sealant pushed in. If you hold a torch on the undersideside you can see the light coming through to identify gaps. Also there is a cavity underneath that collects muck, you access it via a bung from underneath. WARNING do not mistake it for the B post bung, spray up into that and you will coat the inside of vehicle all over your seats Shocked Flush all the Censored out, leave it to dry, reseal with Dum Dum, classic car window sealant etc, something flexible, not bathroom sealant which can have acid in it to deter mound, spray ACF-50 around then coat over the top with a cavity wax e.g. Dinitrol ML with the 360 degree extension nozzle. As a matter of course I treat the seat belt bolt head and those rivets that fix the seat base down with AFC-50 as they corrode eventually also. There are loads of places like this, you just need to spend time examining a small area of the vehicle at a time and treat accordingly. Some areas on some 14 plates are corroding through already on the body. Crying shame these vehicles willl be a rotten mess in only a few years time. I get the same furious feeling with classic cars left outside in the rain. It can only take ten years for a good condition classic car to go from sound to being written off as the cost of the restoration work doesn't,t justify the end price. You have to treat Defenders like Classic cars, they have to be treated thoroughly, regularly and in all the right places. It pays to budget on protecting the body and chassis as well as the more fun add on toys.

This is a very, very common problem, and I don't actually remember ever seeing a four-door 110 or 130 which hasn't had rust and strange white corrosion products at this location.

Incidentally, how come your rear inertia reels are not bolted down here? It's where the brackets for them are fitted on my DC. Had you unbolted them, or are they somewhere else?

It's a different arrangement on a station wagon. They're higher up behind the rear side trim. Darren
