The components which are rusty are the same as on my car. They are solid steel so surface rust does not affect there performance or life still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

Hope its not for wiping the dipstick  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Probably left it there by accident.

I have lost count of the number of spanners, screwdrivers, prybars etc that I have found under the bonnet after a mechanic has had a tinker

Do you know if i can tell them to replace the pieces that have rust?

There is no point in replacing them, unless your planning on keeping the car in a hermetically sealed room like a show car

The replacement parts will be made the same, and will over time be the same, Stop worrying about it and enjoy driving the car  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Ok you have right!

It's normal for these components, if you want to see rust 'grow' spray some water on your brake discs... you'll see the rust appearing in minutes!
