WAX OILING The Beast

.


Today Its been a good day to WAX OIL the main sub frame of one of the Rangies - she's done 57,000 miles and behind the Front Bumber the sub frame was showing a bit of surface rust - which had to go - so no point in doing half a job - as usual just go all out and get her back to prime condition.

I think most of you will agree the LR322 is far better than any LR405 in terms for styling - I know this because we have both - and the LR 322 is just styled far better.

so a few pics from today:







If a jobs worth doing - do it the best you can



Hope this helps anyone wanting to wax oil their Rangie - a point worth noting: Wax Oil the whole chassis It will pay off in years to come - I have always Wax Oiled them from brand new - helps with the MOT's later in life

One last thing - if ever you take a Bolt Out - Just put a brand new one in - I cant stand folk who use the bolts/screws from before - New ones are far better.

Aircraft is my first passion - then theirs the Rangies - I have to know how everything works - this one was 2 months old from new and I had to take her apart to find out what made her tick - I have that type on mind.

Warranty never comes into it - They build them I take them apart - and I can honestly say they are better than when they were in the show room


Have fun Fella's on here - Remember your Rangie is only as good as the time you put into her - Look after them and they will run forever

I ve said this time and time again - we sometimes know more than LR dealers know - FACT

I would also add that if you take a bolt out and replace it always coat it in copper grease! 👍

I note what you say - but just be careful - MOST bolts are Torqued up to a correct value and if you use cooper grease then these WILL come lose and the TORQUE wrench WILL OVER TIGHTEN in every case as theirs no friction - which a Torque wrench needs !

Just think about what BOLT / NUT you are doing - as most of the time TORQUE Bonding is paramount

ie: Brake caliper mounting plates / Brake Calipers / Diff Bolts / Transfer Box bolts - these never use Copper Grease

But I know what you mean Thumbs Up

I have to ask, but why are you still using Waxoil? There are far better rust treatment and corrosion treatments on the market that are vastly superior to Waxoil?

Have a look at my weapon of choice - https://www.dinitroldirect.com/4x4-vehicle-rustproofing-guide/

Dinitrol is hardly new. My father, a chemist, decided on Dinitrol in 1964 to treat his new A40 Countryman.

I'm currently clearing huge piled of MightComeInHandy from the front of our garage. I'm hoping in another week or so, I might reach the A40 and have a look at how well it has done. Old 110 2.3 Petrol ???? - ????
Old 110 200tdi ???? - 2004
1996 Discovery 300tdi 2004 - 2015 met fiery end being welded

I didn’t say it was new? I said that it was better and having used both Waxoil and Dinitrol on many of my vehicles I find that Dinitrol is far superior to Waxoil.
