Maintenance success
After several phone calls with local LR main dealer managed to get few warranty repairs done as my 110 was near to its 3yr warranty expiry.
- minor paint/rust repair to front window screen
- rear cross member resprayed as was looking faded and old / tiny bit rusty
- several door hinge bolts replaced as were rusty

Satisfied with end result - was just a lot of back and forth on the phone with the dealer and they had my vehicle for 2 weeks

I don’t believe the rear cross member is officially covered under paintwork warranty.

3 year paint warranty.

6 year anti corrosion warranty.

Paint warranty should be ok, but probably not the anti-corrosion warranty as that specifically relates to bodywork. It depends which warranty the claim is processed through.

Got mine done under warranty too. No quibble - in fact the dealer suggested that they repainted it.

Decent job on it too, although the warranty didn't extend to the tow-bar or the Shock-Link so I repainted those a couple of weeks ago with Buzzweld CIO. Dave

Cool - I’ve heard good things about Buzzweld CIO. Think I might get a tin

I didn’t even have to ask the dealer to respray the rear crossmember. When my truck was there for another job at about 2 years old, I got it back with a satin black resprayed crossmember. They said to have done this complimentary as preventative maintenance. Stayed perfect ever since, but now at almost 10 years old I let them respray it once again. This time I paid. Looks still better than new.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
