I've found Bilt Hamber Dynax UB to be a lot better than waxoil. Things rust quite quickly here but it's due to the sea air rather than salt on the roads though:

Plus eleventy from me for Dynax. A far better product.

I got my ls400 from a young chap in Edinburgh. It had a blow on the exhaust so I took it to a garage who put it on the ramps. It was fucking hanging underneath. The titanic looked in better health. I punted it on soon after.

I slathered burst oil on the underside of my x trail but it got washed off fairly quickly. I've tried waxoil in the past with limited success. I put grease on most fixings when refitting.

The punto is looking particularly scabby. Not so much on the bodywork but subframe, running gear etc.

There are some old boys on a farm not far from me who literally paint their stuff underneath with grease to good effect. If it works on your fixings...

Fitted a replacement door mirror to the Focus. I bought the car with a damaged mirror. Something gave it a right slap.
Thing is, the speakers in that door don't work either. Failed due to shock?

I bought a Mondeo. I've never had a Mondeo before.

I'd look at the wires and the connections first, especially where they go through the door.

Finally got my Lyneham spontaneous combustion saloon back from resto

I know there isn't a great deal of love for Hitler's love child on these pages but I'm happy

They appear to have left the springs out?
