Galvanic is the application of zinc to steel to prevent oxidation it is either applied by hot dipping IE hot dipped galvanised or as a high temperature spray to the sheet known as zintec.

it has a slip joint, its a twin system the T is where the 1 splits into 2. Its is made like that

where do you get your "BLICK" hammerite from?:):):):):):):)

I have a stainless system to fit. I thought that people might be interested in what a crap piece of British manufacture was out there,,but obviously I was wrong. wont make that mistake again

You have made a good job of cleaning those up

There is no Galvanic protection at all applied to the T piece. the rest of the exhaust is spot on.

the man who had owned the car for 9 yrs.Not really bothered just thought people might be interested.

Hi all ,today I removed the rear section of the exhaust, to help with access . the said exhaust was fitted about 18 months ago ,I am told and by the looks of it ,that looks about right. The exhaust was made by A2A a British ( it says) quality as OE (it says). I will let the photos speak for...

No Buckinghamshire I believe ,there is a lot of crap down that way

from inside the vehicle you could see very little and the wheel well wasnt wet, the water never got that far

the carpet was like a swimming pool and once it breached the floor to inner wing seal, it simply drips constantly on to that joint. there is a hole in the joint to be repaired on the x member but I simply cut away the rot and will re drill the drain hole after

definitely

P38, would not consider L322 First picture looking up to the x member that the airspring sits in ,the circular object is the bump stop location. second picture looking from inside rear wing out above the same x member. just cut the rot out and have made infill panels to repair,just waiting for...

Hope this works ,as requested photos o f repairs needed offside(not stripped n/s yet . Weather too windy for M.I.G at the moment,but not going anywhere soon.

Just found one of the leaks on mine to be that the PO did the roof lining and didnt put the sunroof drains into the wheelarch sockets oh joy

My story gets better and better, I today investigated the reason for the corrosion on the edge of the wheelarch. removed the interior from the rear, the under carpet was wet through, reason .the sunroof drain on the offside(not stripped nearside yet) was not connected to the drain. It gets more...

Stripped both rear calipers ,they were rusty binside ,so obviously have not been working for a while. Front pads 2mm rears 6mm ,tells its own story. New ones on order. still underneath de crapping the chassis. dont know how far to take it yet,will keep you informed

All stripped off now rear ( those nasty springs gone) aAll that remains is to clean off the accumulated crud rust and various other bits to get back to a clean start position.I have ordered what is need ed and I reckon 3 or 4 days of prep prior to acid wash. Found some decay on lower edge...

can you explain that,i dont understand sorry

Thanks Gents I shall look for them after I have de crudded the underside applied the necessary acid wash and painted and removed those squiggly things
