I never had the time but I would rub the sills down and try white flat hammerite. Underneath you need something with a bit more staying power than waxoyle. That stuff seems to just wash off. I need to find something for our 110 tipper I think there is a product that is black and waxy. Avoid anything that dries with a bitumin look as it will seal in the rust and water.

a difficult one mate as they seem to corrode from the inside outwards, if you have the time then mid-summer get some waxoil into the hidden crevices, for general underfloor i will agree that waxoil is to thin, however, there is an aerosol underseal that contains waxoil, it doesnt competly dry out & seems to help out, i apply it to all my customers chassis repairs, cant think of the brand name thou!!! ill add it tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Well the bloody things stuck at a mates house atm, it wont start! Drove from my house to his, pulled up, turned engine off and went to the door. Came back no more than 5mins later and the thing wouldnt start, turned over but showed no attempt to fire.

 

Fuel is getting to the injecters, but weather its passing through the injectors to the engine is another matter. Ive heard there prone to going and cost a fortune to replace. Plus i have never seen so much plastic in an engine bay, took us ages to get to the fuel system and injecters. So its either that or an electrical fault me thinks.

 

On the upside, my mate live 2mins from the merc garage, so will tow it around there tommorow evening after work with any luck.
