Kooga (my Discovery) wants a bit of underbody protection so I want to WaxOyl or similar.

I realise I will get very dirty lying under it with pressure washer etc.

I reckoned on it costing me about £40 - £50 in materials alone.

Is it worth paying someone to do this for me and does anyone recommend anyone in my area and what kind of price they might charge.

I am wanting to do inside and out of all body and chassis sections.

Cheers,

Ian.

If you've gone to the trouble to name your Discovery, it's only right to give it a personal hand job. I wouldn't want any other "stranger" messing about with "my Kooga's" underbelly..

When I had my Landy first checked over (i.e., just before I bought it) by a very fine mechanic - he pretty much told me the same thing: i.e., Land Rover has its own built in rust protection - because they **** oil from every possible gasket they have! This mech, good as he is, was no Landy fan - he was trying to tell me to forget about it and buy Jap; I smiled at him and said "but the Jap's don't make Land Rovers do they?" I have driven a few Nippon four by fours and I still own two (an old Suzuki SJ410 and a new model Tracker [also made by Suzuki]) and none of them, including Toyota, can ever get close to that 'Landy' feel on and off road!

The mech's note on the built-in Landy rsut proofing was an exaggeration no doubt - but I do have a fine coat of leaked oil on my Landy's underside!

Not yet Turpsy, just been worried about the MOT at the moment though. I think I may bite the bullet and do it myself on a nice weekend.

Now where did I put that hazchem suit....

Are you able to purchase POR-50 out your way? If so, get yourself a few pints - (its pricey stuff $50.00 Canadian a pint - approx 25.00 pounds UK) - but nothing will stop or prevent rust like this stuff - I learned this from a pro-auto restorer - and I checked it out myslef - it works!
