I did both our 90 and Discovery before the winter. A good pressure wash off
and then let it dry for sveral days. I left each one in the garage when it
was raining to help keep the damp off. I lifted the front and back and put
axle stands under as high as they would go. Cover the brakes with a dustbin
sack and try to cover as much of the exhaust as possible. Stand the tin in a
bowl of hot water. I bought a 'shutz' gun to spray but even with a low
pressure it just blew it everywhere so I used the pump up waxoyl gun. Got a
good even coat on it.
The last time I did the Discovery was about 5 years ago and it had lasted
pretty good.
Also, do inside the chassis with the probe.

ps. cover the floor with some paper/old dustsheets

weeks after when it was hot (heater) but smells gone now :O)

True but then you don't need a raincoat :-)))

I did my new bulkhead before I fitted it..... hung upside down from the
garage roof and pour! Wait 1/2 hour and turn right way up, with a LOT of
absorbent material underneath and leave overnight.
Horrible, horrible messy stuff to work with but it does what it says on the
tin.

P.S. Derry, I worked out where you live from your email address, I can
understand why you wouldn't be over impressed with your local landy
specialist up the hill behind you........ the word rogue springs to mind,
except it isn't a bad enough description!
In your line of work, do you know a bloke by the name of Pete Boulton?

If we are talking about the same guy, I have absolutely no
complaints, rather the reverse. No, the rogue trader is in
Inverness.

I am probably a fool but I take people on face value until I
discover otherwise. If we are talking about the same guy, he has
just done the timing belt on my 300 Tdi. I got the conversion
kit for him to fit as it is listed as one of the affected vin
numbers.

But apparently it is not one of those affected. (He predicted it
wouldn't be). It already has the flanged pulley. Now there was
an excellent opportunity for a "rogue" to tell me he had fitted
the new parts -- then kept my kit for another job. But he
didn't.

It is dangerous to defame people unless there is proof that will
stand up in court. Also, for a successful action in defamation
it is enough that the person can be identified, he doesn't have
to be named. Just some friendly advice. You may bet that I have
that evidence concerning my business with the Inverness garage
or I would have kept my mouth firmly shut!<g>

IANAL

Badger,

Further to my post earlier today, I think you have got it wrong!
Just shows how careful one should be!

I live near Tain, in Easter Ross, and left Advie about 35 years
ago. I just took the name of the village as the affix for my
kennels.

I know who you mean but have no experience either way. I was
offered a rear tub but got one from England instead. Make of
that what you will.

Take care -- and I mean that most sincerely.<g>

Derry

Well, that's nice to know. Seems like he's changed then, I'm glad to hear it
'cos I actually quite like the guy!

He did a chassis change for me many, many years ago at his previous place
further down the road, it took 2 days to "put to rights" all his mistakes
and bad workmanship. He scratched all the roof above the doors where he
slung the body off (with chains, and nothing protecting the guttering, seals
or paint!!), left brake pipe unions untightened - I lost the brakes on the
way home!!, didn't bleed the clutch properly, the main battery lead to the
starter was unsecure, it welded itself to the underside of the r/h exhaust
manifold - the only thing that stopped the vehicle going on fire was the
fact that the battery terminals weren't tightened, I managed to pull the
negative off to break the circuit but burnt my hand in the process. I was
absolutely fuming at the time, he got a rocket from me over the phone at the
time and told where he could stick the extra that he was due (an extra
hundred quid or so had miraculously worked its way into the fixed price
quote!), unless he wanted me to go to trading standards. I never spoke to
him or dealt with him again until about 4 years ago. I see him maybe once a
year, only if I can't source a part from elsewhere. But, for all that, I do
actually find him quite a likeable sort of bloke. I get on ok with him now,
that whole carry on doesn't even get mentioned anymore, but I still wouldn't
trust him to work on any motor of mine ever again.
That's the factual evidence that I relate to when I criticise/defame him,
plenty of photos were taken at the time as proof in case it went any
further. I'm not that stupid. <grin>

Please see my follow up post number 142011!!

We are talking about two different people. I have not lived on
Speyside, where I suspect your mechanic is located, for over 35
years!

The guy "up on the hill" near me from Tain, Easter Ross, has
been 100% straight and honest with me. He has done LR work for
me as well as leasing my summer grazing during 2004. No problems
whatsoever.

Two completely different people.
