Looking at a 110 2008, Where on the bulkhead should I be looking?
Is it easily seen if rusty? |

Check the footwells inside and out
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I always take a mot corrosion hammer and give areas a few taps Doesn't do any damage but I would ask permission of the owner first if he insists you don't use it be careful as he may know more than he is letting on, also a good pair of gloves and a torch is great for checking the bulkhead, with gloves on gently prod with your finger suspect areas. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

How do you stop it corroding up there? Has that come from the inside out or the outside in?

Some water can enter where anything is bolted on so windscreen hinges, door hinges etc. The only way to stop it is liberal amounts of cavity wax followed by more with a little more after that, then regular top ups.
When I did a bulkhead swap on Jas I had the bulkhead at every angle filling it up with cavity wax to ensure a good covering. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

Centre area rarely rusts due to oil leaks and it's not in the zone of mud and water splatter.
Door pillars and top as shown above are key areas. If you see slight rust marks in the paint coming through, it's a bad one. Walk away 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |
