Thought that was the case.

I thought that it was probably unlikely that there would be a nice, easy more or less like for like replacement. I do, however, like the idea of doing away with the bumper lights altogether and just having a couple of reflectors and maybe a single fog light, like a Prado. Would this be a...

I'm going to do the Prado upper light cluster conversion but I'd also like a better solution to the grotty UK spec bumper lights. I really do not like them. Has anyone tried to find alternatives, such as trailer lights, that could be fitted into the existing bumper light aperture? I'd like...

My fear with the POR15 is that for everyone who says it's marvellous I find someone else who claims it peels off in sheets and so I'd rather not take the risk. In many ways it does sound like great stuff ,which is why I was going to use it, but as I have no means of lifting my car and will be...

Just looked up the Buzzweld. Sounds terrific and fairly inexpensive compared to other products I've been looking at. The 'chassis in one' brush on paint looks ideal for my needs and contains Corroless so is quite similar to what I was already thinking of doing. Thanks for the tip.

As mentioned in my earlier chassis cleaning post I had intended to paint my chassis with POR15 but having read some more on the subject I've decided to use a rust inhibiting primer called Corroless followed by Tetrosyl black chassis paint. I've been put off POR15 by the rigourous level of...

Just read the Krown UK thread, Very interesting, sounds like great stuff. I'll have to think about it.

That was my fear. Although, I believe an empty petrol can full of vapour is a much more dangerous scenario than a full, fitted tank of petrol. Is this correct, I may well be wrong?

I should have been clearer, most of them seem to be diesels after all. Sounds like the odd little spark shouldn't be a problem, which makes life easier. I sort of thought that was probably the case but it's not something I wanted to take a chance with. Great tip for using the POR15. I'll be...

Just to clarify, my car is petrol not diesel hence my concern.

Taking the tank out is what I was hoping to avoid. My collection of tools is about equal to my mechanical knowledge, that is to say pretty limited. I don't have any means of lifting the car, for example. I have a drill and a socket set and not much else. I suppose what I am really asking is if...

Hello everyone, Only recently discovered this site. Really enjoying reading through all the 90 threads. I have a very good lwb Colorado 3.4 V6 which has a solid but slightly crusty chassis. I would like to use a wire wheel attached to a drill to clean off the surface rust before painting with...

Hi Olly, This was actually my first attempt to get in touch with you. Sorry for any confusion. Hopefully, see you in a few weeks. We're really looking forward to seeing it. Regards, Matthew

I've been looking for one like this, is it still for sale?
