    Rustproofing

    Its a **** Job to do, but don't pay someone to do it, its very easy for them to do it badly without you knowing. Only way its worth paying is if you can actually be there and inspect each stage of the process, thing is they don't like you doing that! (cant think why)

    Looking for my first project?

    I suggest you seek professional medical advice. I wish I had before I started:-)

    Snapped bolt head!

    Need to heat it up ideally, I guess its to small to weld a blob on the end? Cut a slit in it and use a hammer & impact driver to free it out? Failing that drill it out and re tap it? I did exactly the same thing the other day taking off the exhaust from manifold.

    Another Defender theft : 200Tdi : B11DXX

    What do they do with them? You are not going to get much by selling the parts on ebay?

    Bulkhead Removal, Repair and Re-fitting

    This is how I fixed it, i recommend you just buy the patches you need from YRM or other and weld them on saves a lot of time:) https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rust-repair-bulkhead.286483/ I'll let you know when I finish putting it back together how it went, just did a 900 item order from...

    Bulkhead Removal, Repair and Re-fitting

    Taking it off is easy, fixing it, not so much, putting it back together is a nightmare!

    Inside chassis treatment

    Yes the heat gun down the rails is amazing actually inside was dry when I stuck a endoscope in there. I had 2 fan heaters on to raise temp to 20 and then used the Fertan UBS 220 inside the chassis. I do recommend it actually really nice stuff. Went through the gung and probe no issues. Gave it...

    Inside chassis treatment

    Yer I think most converter contain phosphoric acid or similar. My brake calipers are pretty bad I think I'm going to try electrolysis for them. There are some you tube videos comparing the different acids. Hydrochloric is good but quite harsh on the surface. Got to make sure you neutralise it...

    Inside chassis treatment

    It's inside the garage, I put a heat gun down the rails today and had the fan heaters on. It only a small garage so I could easily raise the temp to 20 degrees. Will have another day of heat and use the Fertan stuff. A little tip if you tape over all the drain holes except the rear loom holes...

    Inside chassis treatment

    Been running air hose through it and blowing hot air in as well today. So should be dry in a few days. Dimitrol says ok at 15 degrees so might get some of that

    Drain hole before rear cross-member on lower chassis bend

    Yer I have been rust treating inside chassis this week and that's how I found out about this issue:-)

    Inside chassis treatment

    I have cleaned out and used Fertan and washed out the chassis. I had bought some Fertan underseal wax years ago and never used it, I was going to use it inside the chassis. But reading it today it says min 20 degreees so it's too cold. I has been waxed about 7 years ago so what's the best...

    Drain hole before rear cross-member on lower chassis bend

    I checked a 110 down the road and it didn't have any either. Looked like the original rear, crazy why they don't have any drain holes, no wonder these rust so much. Thanks

    Drain hole before rear cross-member on lower chassis bend

    So there should be a couple of holes on the bottom either side of the spacer of that hole then? Anyone got a moment to take a picture of the bottom of the chassis there so can copy it please

    Drain hole before rear cross-member on lower chassis bend

    Hi Can someone tell me if there should be a drain hole under the chassis just before the rear cross member. Basically where the hole the loom comes out of the chassis just before the rear bumper. There is a great big obstruction inside mine which water can not get past but then there is no...

    OEM!

    I dunno, but I did randomly add another part to the paddocks basket and the whole thing came back so I'm at the point of just not wanting to use Paddocks due to customer service and internet experience. Would rather pay more for better service either way.

    Front Outrigger Height

    Have no bulkhead,doors wings etc fitted and had to replace a outrigger. I did take a load of measurements but replacement part was not lining up. Had a look at the manual and measurement 7 looked like the bolt just forward of the outrigger. But the measurement to the datum is completely out...
