This method originally recommended by nicedayforit is simple, cheap and stops corrosion. Used it on a 2007 for two years and have used it in our 2012MY for two years and not a hint of arch rust

Fitted the Freelander covers and loaded them with Waxoyl before I fitted them - no issues nearly 3 years down the line |

We did ours 3 years ago as they had early signs, removed rust, rust eater and then a two part epoxy mastic, followed by a submergable grease and freelander strips. We've taken the strips off today and cleaned out all the grease and there is no sign of rust.. we have even removed a little paint to check underneath and it's spot on. We used products from rust.co.uk that we use on a defender whenever we work on components.

That sounds like a belt and braces job TJH1985, if it's in such good shape a few years on you've done a great job.

I need to do this as mine has got similar amounts of rust as in the first photos.

I think they were only the forwards facing mudflap bolts, two small bolts bolts into the arch and the top metal retainer that screws off by hands (its this that corrodes). To be honest we stripped it all down to check / seal as they also corrode on the rear inside of the cills which you can only see from under the cars or can feel if you put your hand and feel the very rear of the cill closest to the rear wheels (follow the plastic cill cover down from the arch and check the cill there) , so we did that at the same time.
