It came from the Carlisle area. Wire wool time? |

No sign of water damage inside, thankfully. Was it bad around Carlisle, then? |

That does look to be excessive, a harsh environment of salt water or road rock salt gritting maybe.

Insurance write off or possibly even a dealer repair to the inside, from a write off, seats carpets etc, where did you get it and what was it like when you bought it? possibly it has already had the wire wool treatment and that's why it's like that. I think I may ask the place you got it a few questions my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Let me get this straight. You've had it a couple months now and you've only just popped the bonnet to have a look? I don't think much of your chances of any sort of remedy from the seller after this amount of time unless it was an undisclosed write off. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

It came from a Land Rover dealer - one of their approved used vehicles.

I could be a long way from the truth but my guess is its been covered in acid based alloy wheel cleaner b4 sale.

Thanks for that - that's interesting. I am a very long way from the supplying dealer so can't pop it round there to see them, unfortunately.
