Me too. As we've now grown very attached to it. Had it nearly 2 years now. Have put some work into it. Landy has now gone.

Will a car dealer salesman spot the blisters ?

If yes then it would be wise to use the local rapid repair ie 'smart-repair' and get rid within 1-4 weeks before it shows through again. Perhaps best not say to the repairer that you are getting rid so as to get his best job.

Please let us know how you get on. You ought to be able to ask the dealer for a look at the log book of the next Landy to check that you are buying a car that has been located in southern England yet well away from a seaside resort. This corrosion shouldn't put you off the Freeley; I think you've unfortunately bought one that's been in the wrong climate.

PS my Wife thinks the Hebrides atmospher could be air well laden with sea salt.

Totally agree with this. My last freelander 08 was bought from Kent, no rust. Unfortunately I wrote it off. My new one 09 was bought from Aberdeen, rust coming through on back wheel arches. I put it down to the climate & salt. My paint man says its a common fault and starts with stone chips coming off the rear wheels. He says he can repair it BUT will prob come through again. Is there not a plastic cover maybe aftermarket to fit to avoid this problem? Ta.
