Advice Please....
Hi Gang,
Checking the fluid levels and noticed some rusty bits in the engine.
So....What are they and should they be a nice burnt amber colour.... Whistle
I had to top the water up but only half a cup, no other signs of leaks..

Thanks in advance...

Mac.

They all go rusty unfortunately, but nothing to worry about.

I'm sure I read on this forum about a way to 'refurb' - try a 'Search'

All looks like cast iron so surface rust won't bother it for at least 90 years, in which time it most likely wont be a problem

Don't know whether we can get ACF50 in Aus, would WD40 do the same job?

No wd40 won't work as well.

Yep - another vote for ACF50.

I did mine when new, now 2.5 years and 20k miles, still no rust Thumbs Up Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

If you take the fan cowling off (6 cross head screw clips) the majority of the front of the engine is the same cast iron finish.

The engine cover is secured with the 2 bolts clearly visible (8mm socket) and a ball and socket pop fixing to the rear. A solid tug upwards and it comes away.
