Has anyone tried cleaning the inside of their chassis with something like this? Wondering if it worth doing assuming it will drain and dry out again lol
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112484737178 |

I used a 6mm nylon tube, reduced with various bits and bodged onto a karcher, jacked the back up as far as possible and kept pouring the water through, even on a 18 month old truck, the dirt that came out was eye opening!
Left it in that attitude for a couple of days, then swapped the karcher for compressed air, another couple of days then dinitrolled inside and out. hth Keith |

I think the most important thing would be ensuring its well dried out before adding the protection, I was amazed the other day having rushed the washing and drying up few weeks ago to find some pans still wet and that was in a warm kitchen cupboard . DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

If the chassis was galvanised would you still apply dinitrol internally?

I went for 3125 in brown internally applied. (You don't see it and allows you to distinguish.)
Applied first due to possible application run off. 4941 in black for undersealing. I treated and rust spot areas with Hammerite Kurust. Also an idea to stonechip arches before anything, adds a layer of sound proofing and does work. This is what I did, only used cheaper Autotek Stinechip off eBay.  $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

For a 90 you want around 12 cans 6L 500ml each of aerosol of undersealing and 6 cans internal 500ml each 3L with applicator straws
That's with aerosol but if compressor, similar volume. I used aerosol and had perfect results, but it doesn't unduly matter. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

so how do you go about treating the chassis internally then is it just a case of spraying through each hole you find? Id been looking at this stuff to do my cross member , or Kurust
