Those rubber ovals go straight through behind the dash tray - could be messy if you sprayed through there!
I used hinge access and the rubber grommets by the wipers, but if yours is without those, think that's about it - would try feeding a long tube through the hinge access to get as far in as you can, and if you have it spray using a compressor rather than hand pump

cheers matey. Access via hinge bolts is limited. Im guessing it must be a box section there as my cans probe only goes in a couple of inches before it hits solid wall. I donbt understand why the bulkhead should be so prone to rotting. the footwells i understand but why where the air vents are?

Rot they do!
You should be able to feed in a plastic tube from the top hinge by feeding it in at about a 45 degree angle
Get it in as far as you can, and then spray the cr*p out if it

If you've done through the top hinge as well on both sides, then you've done all you can
Out of interest, how much found its way into the cabin - when I did it last year, the answer was loads

Yeah mate. I took top hinge bolt out of both doors and pushed the 60cm probe in. it sprays 360 degree so i should have got good coverage. it must be a box section there. Sprayed loads in and all i got there was a few drips out the bottom of the bulkhead by the bottom front corner of the door. The bung holes by the wipers I used the same probe and got from the bung right along to the door hinge. Sprayed two cans (one in either bung) So far nothing has dripped out of there, inside or out :clap2:
. I used the Dinitrol ML which is like water so it should get into every nook and cranny

Great job
Not used it myself, but switched from waxoyl to ankor wax a while back as is too hard to spray unless warmed and diluted with white spirit
Must say the Dinitrol does dry well from your piccys

Hi mate
Yes thats the holes. I got Dinitrol with a 30cm probe which sprays out the stuff in a 360 degree fan. I took the top door hinge bolt and and the bottom door hinge bolt and squirted a load in there (this seems to be a box section) then popped the probe in the holes by the wipers. The probe went right along to the door pillar. I sprayed loads in. After a few days i noticed some Dinitrol running down the bottom middle of the bulkhead through a seam. Only a small amount. make sure you use Dinitrol MIL cavity wax as its nice and thin and gets in all the nooks and crannys :clap2:

I also used this on the chassis and then over sprayed (wet on wet) with Dinitrol Black underbody wax. All the years i have used Waxoyl I have to say Dinitrol is so much easier to apply
Meant to say...thats top screw of top hinge and bottom screw of bottom hinge. not both screws out of each hinge

Thank you for posting this, I have a 1998 300tdi Defender and have been trying to work out the best wax to spray inside the chassis and bulkhead, I did use waxoyl on it about 5 years ago and found it very very messy to apply. After reading this and a few other posts I have just ordered some Dinitrol ML and 4941, hopefully it will go on a bit better than the waxoyl. I hope the weather dries up a bit soon then I can get under it with the steam cleaner.
