I have applied Dinitrol in about 12c temperature. As a precaution, I had the cans sitting in warm water for about an hour before use to ensure it flowed smoothly. Seemed to be no problems. Left lots of time between applications of the different products (overnight). I used the stone chip on the upper portions of the inner fenders, Although it isn't self healing, it is a harder finish, and with the amount of small stones and gravel that fling up into those spaces, it holds up better to the constant abrasion, as well it has sound deadening qualities. Keep in mind, the stone chip does not adhere to the 3125 Cavity Wax, so where you are going to spray stone chip, make sure you don't have the 3125 under it.

In hindsight, I would not have bothered with stonechip and just sprayed underbody wax on all surfaces. Goes on, stays on! 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol

The new stone chip is lovely to use and works a treat in my experience, has zinc in it, goes on really nicely better than the old Drohnex stuff. That won,t be the correct spelling, have not used it for a while for reference!

Zagato Site Supporter Member Since: 08 Jan 2011 Location: Billingshurst West Sussex Posts: 5013	Yes, actually recommended by Dinitrol (see a few pages back on here!) as the cavity wax is quite gluey so helps it stay on A light coating will do, no need to wait 24 hours, a couple will do if conditions are suitable...

Excellent! Glad to be 100% on this now. I thought it was the other way around and there were adhesion problems with stone chip on top of 3125. I'm looking forward to getting on with mine (once the renovation is finished). Doing the Dinitrol without having to work around the fuel tank is going to give great access to everything in the rear section. it's a Landrover thing... my renovation thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40792.html

RichLech Member Since: 09 Nov 2015 Location: West Sussex Posts: 115	Many thanks for all the advice. I have posted another question in this section of the forum - about the two approx. 5cm diameter holes in each chassis rail which seem to be designed to allow mud into the chassis! I would appreciate any thoughts on that as well. Many thanks.

Yes, they are the holes. Two on each chassis rail; the one in your picture and one near the front outrigger. Neither are used for a wiring loom on my 90. Don't see them being much good as drain holes as they are not at the bottom of the vertical side of the chassis, but about 2cm up the side. There are drain holes in the horizontal bottom of the chassis rail. The front holes in particular are ideally positioned to catch any mud and water from the front wheels when on right or left lock. I think I will probably seal them as there are plenty of other drain/ventilation holes along the chassis.
