Rust from Iron (III) oxides with limited oxygen and low moisture results in black rust.
Black rust can be visually identified as a thin, black film which is the result of oxidation in a low oxygen environment. Black rust has an appearance of almost a black stain. Most likely the areas exhibiting the black rust had something covering them, which prevented oxygen from reaching the surface. This type of rust is a more stable rust layer that does not propagate as rapidly as other rust forms. So i'd say that this bulkhead was damaged in its first years of life or during production, i'd be inclined to contact landrover about this as it might be a manufacturing defect or worst case scenario, crash damage. 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW 1956 Series 1 Hard-top 1958 Series 1 Soft-top |

Hello Kit,
I doubt I'll get anywhere with LR considering the vehicle is now 10 yrs old. I know the vehicle was never crash damaged so I'm scratching my head to why it's so bad for a new'ish defender. Anyhow I need to get it sorted, either fix it or get a replacement. Click image to enlarge 130 TDCI High Capacity Pick up D250 SE HT 110 Hybrid LWT on RR chassis, 3.5 v8 |

Was it used near the sea?
Seems pretty bad for the year. |
