sorry couldn't resist !

but if it was Groundhog day I'd love to spray your untreated chassis with fairy liquid and salt just to see your reaction

Mate that's not funny, it's well below the belt and you know it! Having a go at another mans chassis goes sooo beyond the line you can see the line coming up in front of you again

The bill for my impending psychiatrist sessions will be in the post. I feel my twitch coming back on again!

Better go and give the old girl a rub down, that will make me feel better - then I'll go and do the Defender!!

I read somewhere on here £700 odd quid to waxoyl/dinitrol whatever your defender, I'll willingly do it for £600 any day

If you can spray your arm pit you can spray a chassis It's got to be one of the most saifisfying jobs - especially for £700

Dude, if you've gotta spray your pits with Dinitrol, then you have some serious personal hygiene issues.

Anyhow... sorry....  Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

All joking aside.... Not Reading/Berkshire but in South Oxfordshire (abingdon). So maybe near enough ??????

Try Froggsisland 4x4 http://www.frogsisland4x4.com/index.php?op...;Itemid=58

I've just called them and they confirm that they do the treatment. They use Dinitrol over Waxoyl.

3 day treatment, 1 for cleaning, 1 for application and 1 for drying. They treat the underbody with the black wax and thats about £450 for a 110 (didn't ask about if that +VAT, feck, sorry !)

If you want the cavities done, they can do that too, with the clear wax but that will be extra on top. Best bet is to give them a shout and discuss your specific requirements.

Didn't post this earlier, as their website was down for a few days and was wondering if they'd gone bust. I'm nothing to do with them BTW.

HTH

Edit - Have not used them myself so cannot give a recommendation, however, my mates got an old 90 that they converted to run a 3.9v8 + auto box a few years back and he's always been very pleased/impressed with their work.

Cheers mate, i'll give them a call.

ciao

Only joking Rossy MY12 have lower emissions That would be interesting to hear about! If they could just fit airbags as well it could be in production longer maybe!! Can't be that hard to whack some bags in!

Got to be cheaper to redesign that area rather than a whole new car - suppose the labour intensive build costs is what is really killing the Defender - even if it was made abroad

"Miserable" those two grommets under the windscreen you were talking about for wax spray are they the unused windscreen blanks or are they lower - don't fancy spraying crap all up the inside of the dash
