2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Excellent work Zag

I will be looking to sort out the underbody protection on mine when it arrives (or soon after as it may off to France as soon as it arrives).

I had a moan to the dealer about the lack of underbody coating when the 07 Puma was new and they took it in for two days, lent me a Freelander and did the job for free - I may try and swing that again

That was a touch John, would love to know how you swung that one...good for you

I have just used 4 cans of Dinitrol under-seal stuff for the little bits and tricky bits that you can't get a brush into. Think you would need at least the same again to do the chassis and under body (in fact I think that is what they recommend in the kit for a Land Rover).

Well it has taken a long time but It's well worth it when you look at all the nuts, spring clips, brackets, screws sticking through etc etc let alone the chassis, rear cross-member etc all waiting to rust up - they really DO need to under-seal it, it's appalling selling a car like that. Try and get one of those rusted nuts off in 5 years time and the spring clips would have rotted and fallen off by then

The mechanics must curse working on older one's, they must get through cans of plus gas trying to free every rusted nut off

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Corris Grey

I think several of us managed to get their dealers to Waxoyl our then new Defenders when they first came out back in '07, I know I did with my silver 110 XS CSW but I still did it again myself.

I recently Dino'd my current USW myself as nothing had been applied to it and reckoned there was a snowflake in hell's chance of convincing the dealer should do it now. Steve.

You know I was thinking there could be a market for this, i.e. contacting new owners and finishing off the product for them - great job

Snow cover not cheap but VERY NICE
