Just popped down to have my wheels aligned, while the car was on the ramp noticed a bit of surface rust coming through on the chassis/suspension bits. Nothing major but one of those things that probably need a bit of waxoyl on before time.

Anyone else done this or noticed it on there car if it's older as is mine?? 5 years old now.

Will prob clean it off and give it a coating of the black stuff

We have two Freelanders in the family (both 09/10 regs) and both have started rusting around the welds on those horizontal chassis legs, so you're not alone! I suspect its caused by stones etc being thrown up off the road. Why LR didn't put something better and more durable than 'chassis black' on the chassis to protect it in that area I dont know! Consequently both cars have had a liberal coating of Waxoyl on these 'legs' and hopefully that will suffice!

Nice to here its not just me! Land rover are known for rust tho! Did you do it yourself? I am gonna do mine the weekend if the weather holds out

I did both cars myself, just a gentle brush with a soft wire brush to remove any loose paint and dirt and then applied the waxoyl. I have to say though with both F2’s only 18months old I didn't expect to see rust on either of them yet, particularly as both are pressure washed (including the underbody and wheel arches) each week!

might do mine aswell nothing is rust proof When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Everything seems to be more or less ok up to 3 years then it all goes to pot, time to buy another new one.

well you can buy me a new one aswell as i cant afford to lol When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

I shall be getting out the Waxoyl as well! I have always Waxoyled my Land Rovers every year and never had an issue with rot on any of them. John
