It's because they forgot to paint it! And what earth are u doing under the bonnet?

a chap was servicing the aircon, and i was stood chatting, looking at the engine area thinking its a little dusty and needs another wipe down and coat of 303 protectorant spray and then got looking at the bonnet and noticed the rusty parts

just checked mine at these locations and no sign of rust.

You guys are washing your cars too often...

wash the top, but very rarely wash inside the bonnet, but i'll clean it over the week end and see what Lr have to say, either on the paint warranty or the LR extended warranty

I remember after my Disco had a replacement front wing it showed similar rust spots after about a year.

Haven't checked for this car but usually the warranty covers PERFORATION. So you have to have a hole in the bodywork to qualify. Check the small print.

I seem to recall something about it saying it has to rust inside to out

So whats the best way to deal with spot rust, chemical treatments that removes rust, then prime and paint

Or just paint over it

Guessing that LR will say no cover anyway

Not to my knowledge

This applies regardless of any change in vehicle ownership during the period of cover. The paint surface warranty's period of cover begins at the same time as the vehicle warranty and continues for a period of three years.
