    Right through in places! Just been talking to YRM and they will supply a whole patch that blanks off the vents..... Think that sounds like a great plan!

    Chemicals

    I've seen on here people talking about chemicals that will kill off rust, can someone suggest a good one? I have a newly acquired 110 that has rust right through the top of the bulkhead, I don't really have the experience to change the bulkhead, would much rather do a repair of some type...

    Defender 2.5 cutting out on hills

    My trusty old 90 has just been serviced, and had now developed a fault... When going uphill, drives fine as long as he revs are kept right up, as soon as I change gear and the revs drop, the engine dies. Any thoughts? It's still running the original 1988 engine and is due for a transplant...
