The holes in the rubber seal are so air can escape, My loom goes between the chassis and the body though it is a 110.
Just sip tie the loom out of the way once sprayed. I'd dinitrol from new, I've just finished day 3 of doing mine. Well day 4 if you don't count the day where I got all the compressor ready and it started to pish down. Another day and I'll have it cracked then again I'm taking my time making sure it's done right. |

It looks like I have a messy weekend ahead of me, I took the plunge and bought the following:
DINITROL CAVITY WAX AEROSOL (with 140mm extension nozzle) ACF-50 ANTI-CORROSION SPRAY ARBO MART AUTOGRADE SEALER I bought the Dinitrol aerosol as I dont have access to an air compressor so hopefully these will be ok for the job. I will be following the guide above and hopefully do a reasonable job, the way I see it is even if I my work isnt up to scratch it will be better than nothing over the winter. Wish me luck.. and thanks Zagato for your help with this. Michael was just telling me a story about a friend of his who slept with a land rover, lonely nights in the desert.. |

Don't forget your ACF-50 for under the cappings etc Tom. Helps to keep the cans warm in this cold weather also, the Dinitrol flows better
I am doing my last Defender today until next year when conditions improve in the Spring. I'm happy to give anyone advice if you fancy a crack at it yourself - it's not hard to do, you can see what needs doing when you get underneath and the same for the body. Just give a squirt of ACF-50 to footwell fasteners, bonnet hinges onto bulkhead, headlight rims, door hinges - anything you think will rust. Treating the metal bracket etc behind the grill is one you may not spot. Easy to take the grill off and do  |

What about applying Dinitrol over waxoyl? Is that a no no? Michael was just telling me a story about a friend of his who slept with a land rover, lonely nights in the desert..

As long as the Waxoyl is still stable (can get a bit cakey eventually!)It's like spraying glue over the Waxoyl so no problem as long as whats under the old Waxoyl is dry off course - Just adds another layer of protection

Looking at doing some serious rust protection on our new 90 when it arrives in March/April. (I galvanised the chassis on my td5 when I got that but its not really an option this time!)
I cant seem to get Dinitrol over here (Australia), but Rejel pointed me to the following carlofon CHC40200 product for the cavities. Does anyone know if this is basically the same product? http://www.storkawd.com.au/product.asp?ProductID={CFB284BA-5E35-4F32-82D8-4034CB9C4881} I haven't managed to find much in the way of the underbody wax yet either apart from Tectyl 506, or the traditional Waxoyl. Has anyone tried this? Thanks Peter |

Peter, look at bell1975 post in below thread. Dinitrol may be available to you down under. Eric
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defen...110-a.html You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Thanks Eric,
That seems to point to carlofon being the same as Dintrol. I will send him a pm on aulro. Rgds Peter |

Hi Folks,
My first post on here and as the former owner over the years of a number of Opel Mantas (made from steel that Land Rover rejected as it was too rust prone...), I've found this topic fascinating. Many thanks to the chap who started it. I've a new 110 Hard Top on order for next March, so it's of particular relevance to me at present. Once I'd realised 'Waxoyl' was frankly rubbish, all my recent Mantas were treated with Bilt Hamber's products and I've found them to be absolutely brilliant (NB my user name gives you a clue as to whether I work for BH - I don't!) In case that's a new name to some of you, here's their site: www.bilthamber.com The comparison tests with various other rust preventative products are most informative. They're what I hope to douse my new 110 in before it goes on the road, albeit the dealer did say they'll give it a five mile road test before he trailers it over to me, and in late February with all the salt, I'm not too happy about that. The other thing that I hope will be of interest to you is this: http://www.lokari.de/epages/62716287.sf/en...ListPrice= I had a set of their plastic front wheel arch liners for one of my old Mantas and they were absolutely superb. They literally held themselves in and took just minutes to fit. How good they'd be for the off roaders who use all their suspension travel I don't know, but mine will just be my work van, so I doubt it will be a problem for me. Sadly, the Land Rover ones aren't available in plastic, but I intend to get both front and rear aluminium sets for my 110. I found Lokari very easy to deal with last time. I'll clearly need to check first if they'll fit a 2014 vehicle. I hope this is of help and look forward to joining in with more discussions over the coming months. |
