Any cars from the north are usually covered in corrosion! All cars that I have bought that have lived most of their lives up north have been rust buckets. Southern kept cars are the way to go if you want a corrosion reduced/free example. |

From the first picture, in the recesses there is no dirt, as someone said, some aggressive cleaning agent and high power washing has gone on in there, definitely get something done, once corrosion starts it doesn't stop!! |

Might be worth trying some ACF-50. http://www.acf-50.co.uk/acf-50.htm |

Did the dealer and the car come from the Carlisle area? Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys |

Car was supplied from new in Sep 2010 by dealer in Carlisle then lived in Croglin, Cumbria. The same dealer then sold it on to me in Jan this year. |

Mine lived in Torver nr. Coniston for the first 10 months of it's life (Lakeland Land Rover), and it has NONE of that corrosion on it anywhere! Foraging near Gaydon....

Lets see if I can put forwards some comments and thoughts and a possible holding solution.

Thanks Fred. I really appreciate the time you took to write that. Definite food for thought. |

What Fred said is correct and that is what ACF-50 does. As I said I've used it on an 1982 SR500 motorcycle with a fairly unknown past. Cleaned it up first, then lightly coated with ACF-50. Used a cloth where there were any runs. The bike gets infrequent use and is stored in an unheated damp garage. The wife thought it looked aweful but at the end of winter at MOT time it cleans up really well. |
