Good good, is that not the max stage before physical mods are required?

Yeah there's stage 1 which is 'Eco'
Stage 2 which is a more standard remap And then stage 3 which comes with a turbo boost box/fuel additives etc which I didn't fancy. Stage 2 is perfect, how it should have come IMO Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

finally dealt with the undersealing of the 110.
Tried with waxoyl and the genuine sprayer but it was a pile of  to be honest. So ran out of stuff without really getting much covered as most fell off or ended up in really thick bits or on my head 
So as i didn't have time/access to dinitrol i used the hammerite underseal stuff with added waxoyl. came in a 2.5L tin and its sort of half black paint and half waxy, and its 100x better. Used a brush at first and then used my fingers to push it into the trickier places! much better job and looks better than yellow waxy stuff IMO!
also completed the last couple of coats on the rear crossmember using hammerite metal paint before the above. Some pics (under car ones didn't come out great as getting dark sorry):  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge then put the tow bar back together and cleaned off some excess and now leave it to dry while i go away on holiday for a week!

Not updated this thread in a while, so here's some pics of as it is now.
Got my sawtooths & General grabber AT2's fitted, VERY impressed. We have some deeply muddy & rutted tracks around our house and they just crawl though easily. Been comparing to dads land cruiser with all the bells & whistles, but not as good tyres, and that really can only get through most bits by sheer power and often ends up digging a whole.

Yeah the first time I did a half a job.
This time I sanded, acid etch primed and then used hammerite rustproof paint. Only been 3/4mths but still looks perfect. Seems to do the job v well. I'd say it seems to be more about the prep than the paint. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Finally got round to sorting a proper permanent location for my CB aerial & wiring it through to the cab.
