+1! Mine has really suffered this winter. It's looking decidedly rough in places. Going to need some paintwork and another chassis treatment this year. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

I'm going to look at mine this summer and most likely Dinitrol again as a top up check and clean.

1994 Defender 110 BMW M57 3.0 Diesel CSW Buckingham Blue

Mine looks like its going to need a bit of tlc post winter, spots of surface rust in places on the chassis

don't think its a LR only thing though, both the missus' car and my sisters cars (focus and a fiesta) have had to have new suspension components due to severe corrosion, and no, we're no where near the sea! don't know what our councils have been using for salt, but its rotten stuff!!

ill get my coat...

1991 Defender 110 200 Tdi USW Arles Blue

I have been washing mine every week!

Leave it for more than 2 days and you can actually see the salt crystals growing on the paintwork

Gave mine a bath today and got the pressure washer out and gave the underneath a blast in the hope that we've seen the last of the salt. 2005 Td5 90 XS

I live by the sea side, with the roads salted and the fresh sea air you can actually see the holes form in front of you
