right I am off down the pub

I only know of the one, which we all keep clear. I do stand to be corrected, always willing to learn new tricks

In that case it wasn't the plenum drains I was looking at. Must have been the air con pipes as Grey Ghost suggests. (oops)

I am interested in having comprehensive anti-rust treatment carried out on my car and wonder whether any members are able to help me with my query about the merits of Swiss Waxoyl as opposed to the home-grown British variety. One hears varying opinions about their respective qualities.

No. Rustmaster will inject Waxoyl in the cavities, and cover the underbody with hard black waxoyl. The protective paint on the sills is not part of the process.

Hope this helps,

Cliff

I would think that any decent body shop should be able to sort it for you or, if the damage isn't too bad, one of the mobile chip repairers may be able to help - I believe Halfords do such a service.

Never used them myself, so I don't know what they are like, but it may be worth enquiring in your nearest branch.
