I am lucky enough to not need a grinder to get it off.. wire brush.. a good rust proofing primer & then the paint. Good areas to check are the bottoms of all the doors & lift the carpet up in the footwells, rear cargo floor, rear bumper, rear door. You might notice rust likes to form on the weld in some spots. Just read a new thread on here regarding rust on the roof on DIs. & there is a good article on rust treatment (more on what to avoid.. but still informative) by Mr. Robison in the latest issue of LRM.
Not trying to be funny but do you actually own a Land Rover???

The reason I ask is you are describing rust where it is totally and physically impossible to get.

This is because most of the body work is aluminium, and aluminium does not rust, sure it will still corrode or oxidise but not rust. Electrolosis is a common problem where aluminium and steel components are touching.
