searched for a post but didn't find anything specific.
what are the main things to inspect before my warranty runs out? ive got it booked in for a service, waxoil and end of warranty check but would like to inspect myself too... it's had the bulkhead replaced 2 months ago, other than that, only the indicator is dodgy.. 1 or 2 corrosion issues still. |

they are, also the rear cross member where the mud flaps joined is starting to rust (was) so i took the flaps off, got them properly coated and then sealed between with silicone... might be worth pulling them off to check for excess corrosion

I would have thought any bolts or hinges with any signs of corrosion should be replaced too. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

as others have said, corrosion!, check your windscreen frame carefully especially along the top of the bulkhead and around the screen rubber , and just about every fixture and fitting DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Are you putting it into a main dealer for the service? They should be able to do a 'health check' for you at the same time and check for any warranty issues - mine are, as the warranty runs out at the end of this month. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Would this be covered under the 6 year anti corrosion warranty of standard 3 year warranty?? Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond..... |

Very difficult to determine and it will vary from dealer to dealer. I've just had a dispute with my dealer over rear fillet panels, they claimed it was a paint issue that has only three years warranty (the fact there is no paint applied to the underside of the lip I said it was corrosion covered by the six year warranty). I then took it to Land Rover Customer Services. Whilst I am paying to have the panels treated and repainted a resolution was 'brokered' whereupon I am more than happy with the end result. As stated purely depends on dealer's approach to your issue. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Check screen heaters.
My front had a couple of stripes that didn't work and the top part of the rear didn't work either. Both screens were replaced under warranty |

Nothing like an owner going over it with a fine toothcomb and finding any issues yourself using this forum as a guide/pointer. All the minor cosmetic issues I have experienced over the last four and a half years are well documented. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

The EGR is another good thing to have done if it gives even the slightest wiff of a problem. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
