    Axle rust proofing

    A few years ago I rubbed down treated with fermanagh, primer and gloss black the axles on my 90 Several years later they are looking scabby again What would be best to use this time ? Stone chip ,waxoil ,dynatril or are there better harder Paints available now?

    Defender heater improvement

    One of the easiest things to do is to swap the plastic bits that direct the air to your feet so they direct air up towards you It does help but in my case it's like warm air!

    Defender heater improvement

    The heater in my 90 is crap I have another heater box to rebuild Can you buy the seals for inside or can someone recommend a product to seal round the matrix and on the door Is there a more efficient matrix that fits in the heater box? Thanks
