Under my skin...
... Defender's skin i'd say. I have some rust bubbling under the paint on the A-pillars of my Oct 2007 def. Now, i have read several threads talking about long term warranties and so on, and i haven't been able to understan if the bodywork has a longer warranty than the mechanics. My car is obviuosly out of mechanical warranty but if it is true that there is a 6-years warranty on the bodywork i might still have hopes. Now the question: where do i check IF i have this warranty or not? Please help me figure this out.

Thanks in advance guys Smile

In fact the bodywork warranty for corrosion is 6 years. Try to look into the service booklet or manual Puma 110" SW

Yes the anti corrosion warranty is 6 years and its a perforation - so if its coming from underneath you should be covered

do a search - they sometimes put up some resistance Mike

Great to know. My 07 is rusting on both doors and rear...all from under the paint and not on a join. I will pop in to Land Rover next week. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the tip...I had no idea!

Cheers

Key point with the six year anti corrosion (perforation) warranty is that you are supposed to get the truck inspected once a year. If this hasn't been done (and the book stamped) be prepared for some dealer wriggling.

Although if you use Lancasters in Reading you should be ok - they did the rear door on my 2000 TD5 CSW after four years without the stamps. John

as I mentioned on another thread,our 08 is in again for corrosion this time on the windscreen surround,rear gutter and L/H rear capping, they will repair it just stand your ground if the dealer can't be bothered to get the go ahead from LR 2.4 90 XS
