Rustproofing 'how/where to'

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to add some rustproofing to my new wagon when it arrives next week (before the winter sets in)

Is there a definitive 'how to' guide anywhere that would explain exactly where to put it on a 110? have been searching web for a while a haven't found that yet.

I know chassis in/out, cross member etc, but more thinking of those harder to get to bits, where area they and how to get the stuff in there to best effect without taking the whole thing to bits

I see some Dintrol supply plugs in a kit, would drilling/spraying/plugging be a good idea or are most areas accessible without doing that?

Its a brand new model utility wagon if that helps. I'm planning to keep it for a few years so want to avoid future problems if possible.

I have access to a lift, airline, warm garage, pit etc (cheers cousin Garry) so no problem there.

I'm thinking of a Dinitrol kit that comes with the sprayer.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be obliged, I want to get it done before the salt goes down on the the roads.

Cheers

do a search on zagato threads for under seal

I'm doing the same, dinatrol kit off ebay, i have access to a ramp etc so will DIY. My only concern it that the probe with the kit is a set length...is that long enough? guess it is with all the holes in the chassis.

Had a look for Zagato threads but as he's been a busy boy posting I got rather a lot to wade through, just looking for a lazy link

Coming to Bath on wednesday for Christmas shopping trip which will be nice.

Found it

Did some more digging (thanks for the tip) and found a fair bit more icon and had a chat with Mr Zagato himself this morning, so we are all sorted, cheque book and paper suit at the ready

Got to be worth the effort in the long run, at least I'll feel I've done my bit to keep it looking good for as long as possible.

I can highly recommend Dynatrol cavity wax and the underseal for the externals.

I've used the waxoyl pump sprayer once a year on my 110CSW and after six years it still looked like new but on close inspection the waxoyl had peeled in places around the edges of steel pressings.

When i bought the 90 i also bought a proper sprayer, Dynatrol cavity wax & Dynatrol underseal from Rust.co.uk (highly recommended) I dorbed both vehicles in it (inside the chassis, bulkhead etc and out) and a year on the chassis on both still have the as-new satin black shine (and it sticks like sh!t to a shirt tail).

I wouldn't go back to waxoyl and wouldn't hesitate to use Dynatrol on my next land rover.

Do you have a vehicle lift or do you crawl underneath to spray the chassis?

I stuck it on a pair of ramps. plenty high enough, even for my belly to squeeze by the chassis

You don't need the larger size of £144 for motorhomes etc. (although could be handy for future top ups!)

Product code DIN02L aerosol £99 or DIN01L if you have a compressor £99 - both kits for a 90 or 110

Comes with mask, boot covers, boiler suit, hood.........
