Hi Mike
following on from this thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic23803.html I'm interested to understand how the rear cross member corrosion is deemed to be paintwork rather than corrosion. If JLR had bothered to paint it with non-porous paint I might understand, but the paint thickness and quality are so poor that the spray of corroded material from the poorly finished mud flap brackets has destroyed what little paint there was. in other words, JLR supplied substandard mud flap brackets that have affected the substandard finish on the cross member but are trying to wriggle out of it. I and many other puma owners would be interested in your response

my dealer refused to warranty the mud flap brackets so i powder coated my own, the cross member is a state at the moment and i asked the dealer to take care of it whilst doing other bubbling paint on the roof and back door... its right in the most awkward of places the only way i can see anything being done is going to require a massive strip down

Is there some way we can open this up to the 'forum' a little more? After all - that is the point of a forum, otherwise it's just private email. This is an issue that affects pretty much every single Defender owner, and one I'm sure that everyone would be interested in. I understand that there is a reason to have private communication regarding specific cases, but I'm sure that any general information would be greatly appreciated. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Hello,
Unfortunately I need person information from NoDo$h so it would have to be requested and given privately, also I need pictures to be sent via email. Many Thanks Mike |

It said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "please send me the pictures"

No need, I put my GoPro helmet cam on and used a pogo stick
