I was sweating like buggery when Mark was winding this over, I could just imagine it toppling over onto its side out of control.. that probably can't happen, but my imagination was doing overtime! - Mr Scoops wrote:

You might have to dude... I have a habit of doing one job and finding three more "while I'm at it" I know full well more will get done to the underside than just underseal tomorrow! Still, "do it right - do it once" as the saying goes! | |

You need to drain the engine oil and the fuel tank.. not sure about the water on a water-cooled engine.. | |

| Carl, is that underseal ? It's ok but goes brittle with time, causing water to get behind and start rusting.
You would have been better off with a sealer more wax based, or more flexible when cured.
Just from experiance, over the years | |

Just from experiance, over the years yes, but not tetraseal, it's an equivalent made by 3M.... Thanks for the tip though, I'll definitely keep a really close eye on it!.... I usually get under it at least once every year at MOT time so will definitely be checking.. cheers chap...... | |

| Seriously speaking for a second, if anyone wants to use it, this will obviously have to be at the Howling Wolf Workshop, but assuming he has the space, then I'm sure it could be made available.. I know, its in Wales, but really, it's not that bad...! | |
