On my car I’ve enjoyed the rust proofing….painting suspension and under sealing any suspect areas. It’s just my neck that suffers for days afterwards 🙄

It’s now protected yet has a look of originality about it👍🏻

Blimey this stuff must have great health benefits as you breathe it in and wash your eyes out with it, I guess the only purpose of the latex gloves is to keep your hands clean. Surprised the HSE haven’t used this video to demonstrate what not to do when it comes to PPE.

Yes, the same thought occurred to me although they do say it's primary constituent is lanolin extracted from sheep's wool. Baa as if that makes any difference. Just hold on while I satisfy a craving to eat my lawn.

No more car shows for me. I just won't be able to drive on the grass anymore in case Lexigirl decides to eat the turf.

Does it smell of mint sauce?

I know the feeling. I put a shelf up in the garage and had a sore foot ( like a sprain ) for a week afterwards. It's called old age.

No, I don't know why my foot kicked off either.

Foot..hmm...you do know we have these things called hammers for that job right?.

I also read this before I went ahead with undersealing. I guess I was a bit impressed by the Norwegian reference for obvious reasons. If it can handle their climate ours should be doable.

Seriously Stephen ........ Do you actually KNOW that these are the images of YOUR car that the Undersealer has sent over ?

Until you are 100% OK with the Ramp Inspection I would hold off shelling out your dosh ££££

Malc, without a doubt, with age, I have lost a step so to speak. However, I would know the underside of this car anywhere if only because of the exhaust system, but there are other clues of course. I paid him yesterday in full so unless the garage give me a totally bad report it is over. As to the latter I really don't see that happening. Even with these pics it looks like the job I was expecting. In addition, I know cavities were done with Active Corrollan ,because they don't plug drainholes , and I have been soaking up seepage with sheets of plenty padding under the holes.

With matters like these you should attempt to stay the right side of what the law reasonably allows. After the pics there really was little reason to retain his payment. Moreover, I also know IF in the unlikely event this turned out to be a bad job I do always have the option of going back to him with the option that he correct it. Failure to do that fulfils my obligation to him and the next step is to obtain a quote from the garage. Get them to do it and then claim against him in Small Claims for that cost. That is the way this process works to stay the right side of the legal line. Decades in business my friend and I have been down this path multiple times like anybody in business would do. That is experience and knowledge bought the hard way, but it's a useful thing to have in situations like this, because I knew exactly what to do.

Take same rags with you just in case your car is still dripping 👍🏻

Hope the ramp is a proper 4 Poster that you drive on and rises for your upright standing inspection of the underside

Does your usual Indy mechanic not have this type of ramp ……that your good rapport with him enables you to get him onside maybe 🤔

The friend has a tyre/exhaust business. Indeed, it's the same place I went on recommendation to get my alloygators removed and unlike Clitheroe it is 2mins down the road.

The 'other' car that rhymes with Hag. No not Reeves come on now. Yes, that car passed MOT no advisories today and that is as good as you can hope for with cars like these ,of this age.

She's going to Harrogate on Saturday to watch the Rugby and on from there to York for a short break. Who knows I might just keep driving after that! Hull ferry anyone?
