In this video, I will be showing you what to be on the lookout for when it comes to frame rust on a Land Rover Discovery 2. You need to be wary of this issue as people will try to hide it or not disclose it. Depending on where you live, this can be a significant issue that can prevent you obtaining a safety inspection.

That's not really a huge problem... if you have access to the required parts. Dunno about the rest of the world but in the UK there are companies selling different types of "quarter chassis", some of which even extend forward of the spring hangers. Thing is, if you WANT a D2 there's no point in junking a rusty one and buying another one 'cos the one you buy is likely to be just as bad, or even worse. Might as well just "grasp the nettle" and get it fixed if you've got a vehicle that's otherwise in good condition.

Wow. going to check the rear frame of my potential disco purchase. Im getting a disco 2 for around 500-600. rust is to be expected at that price but hoping I can at least keep the chassis.

It's definitely a big problem where I live. Hope this can save you some money!

My father bought ours new in 2001 in Cardiff, Wales when I was 22. I remember saying to the salesman that the chassis (frame) doesn’t look like it has much protection on it and his words were something like this “that will last forever lad, you won’t need to worry about these rotting out” lol Our family have ben around Land Rovers all my life and I did my apprenticeship as a mechanic on them so I knew this was a potential problem!! We made a deal that if we bought it I would take it away and paint the chassis with a marine primer and then take it back to the to waxoil it for free as part of the deal…they agreed! 205,000 miles later and 23 years old my wife now drives the vehicle as her daily car and guess what…its never been welded! I also poured a few litres of dirty engine oils inside about 15 years ago and let it all run out the drainage hole which I’m sure helped.. Typical salesman, not having a bloody clue and only wants the money..

I've seen worse! I've just lifter the body off my TD5 to address some chassis welding. Not a fun job!

Definitely not!

You can not avoid the rust. New chassis is the only way. You used the word "cover up" that is not really fixing it. These chassis are made of butter and landrover should be ashamed of how crap they are.

Yeah they really are terrible for rust. I've done a rear frame section before and it's not too bad, but not great.
