| More seriously, how difficult is to to replace a wing? The rest of the car is nowhere near that bad, and I'm wondering whether the car would sell as a project or whether it's just for scrap or parts. |

| Thanks. I think you're confirming what I was coming round to, get shot of it. That driver's side front wing is the worst, the rear wheel arches are showing that it's coming for them, as are the bott ... |

Thanks. By the way a post suggested taping up the sharp edges, that was what I was replying to. It seems to have disappeared now.
Any suggestions welcome. As I say I don't think the value of the ... |

| Thanks. That sounds a fairly extreme lash up. I'll post a couple of pictures tomorrow. Our decision really is whether to replace the car right now, or whether it can squeak through one more MOT which ... |

Hi,
Our 2008 Freelander has some serious rust issues going on pretty much everywhere. Worst are the front wings with rust all round the wheel arch, rusting from the inside I think. One side actuall ... |

Hi,
