Peugeots don't rust, but everything else falls apart.
It is well known that for some unknown reason Scottish cars do rust more. My 98 disco was rotten at the back end, chassis and body, worse than my 94 model year one.
I take it Devon doesn't have the same amount of salt in the air as the whole of Scotland. We do like our chips lathered in the stuff.
You spent a whole month in Scotland with a very narrow minded attitude and lived to tell the tale . Good on you enter the commonwealth games this year. No sorry better not god forbid you'd have to come back for a second month.
wait till the gates are put up at Gretna, you won't get in without a visitors visa but that;s another argument!
will they be Rusty gates!!! terrible corrosive the Scottish air!! thats why they put iron bru in alloy tins!!
Got mine from up near Fife. Owned from new by a Farmer. So chassis starting to go and rear mudflap brackets totally gone. Will need a new rear chassis at some point but should get through the next MOT in august.
At least the rust was "honest", not having been hidden or bodged, so I was able to have the chassis blathered in old oil before the gritters came out.
:hysterically_laughi:mooning:
U originally from Devon?
Have to disagree with this, I have had several discoverys and it's all down to how you look after them, I take great pride in keeping the chassis clean and with a good coating of wax oil, I have never had a complaint about them when I have sold them!
Firstly no offence was implied when I wrote this.. all you Scottys need to keep your dresses on! At least if Scotland go independent we wont have the likes of George Galloway shouting his opinions out, What a Wan*** he can leave um where he found them! You all must be related...
Anyway the guy who said he got his disco from Scotland and the chassis mint he was a lucky man!
Not saying they don't rust in Devon, did I say that? no..
Its not the salt in the air as such in Scotland its what's thrown all over the roads in the winters...
Can't let that one go by.
Blathering a chassis in old oil is NOT dangerous to motorcyclists when done properly.
That's me speaking as both a motorcyclist and MAG member these past 25 years.
If left overnight any excess oil will drip off - there is more oil on my drive from my transfer box than from my chassis. In fact there is absolutely NO oil on my drive from my chassis.
Come to think of it, there is more oil on my drive from my motorbike than from my chassis.
