I work as a design engineer in oil and gas, specialising in subsea equipment. Bought a 90 truck cab last last week and love it. I had a thought that the subsea equipment I design uses sacrificial zinc anodes which reduce the rate of corrosion of carbon steel and stainless steel structures whilst deployed on the bottom of the sea. Has anyone tried fitting anodes to the chassis of a Land Rover to reduce the rate of corrosion? For the price of a couple of anodes I think it's worth bolting them onto my chassis to see if it helps slow corrosion on my 90.

+1, Will work in freshwater, as on my narrowboat! I think it's magnesium for freshwater and zinc or aluminium for saltwater.
When the underside is wet with salt water from gritted roads in winter, is this not the same?

No harm in trying it, no real way to tell if its working or not, what you need is 2 90z one with and one with out

I would love to have another 90, but it took me 21 years to persuade the wife I needed one, doubt she'd agree to a second one!

Think the technical answer is thet there needs to be water between the two metals for it to work,
we do have sactrifical metals on landys, looked at the bottom of the doors recently
