    Im going to oil me cavities !! Looking in the rear wheel arches there appear to be some 4 lumps under the underseal. Would I be right in thinking they could be some kind of plugs giving access to the cavity between the inner and outer wing, Has anyone ever had them out if so do you have to destroy them, before I start hacking.

    I haven't had them out but you can see the 4 of them from the other side.

    Are they plastic?
     
  4. Yes , plastic and a bit of a sod to get out .
    Best way i found was to cut around them with a knife to break the underseal , drill a small hole in the middle and lever them out with a screwdriver . I replaced them with some (8mm ??) grommets i had kicking around ..

    Well worth doing , You paying attention @Ermintrude ??

    There’s so many hidden bits, think I’ll need a diagram and more than four cans of the s50

    I'm beginning to see why Alex suggested I get a 5 litre drum :eek:

  12. 4 cans are plenty.
    Make sure you get cardboard or summat on the floor as it drips out for days - and wear that mask , it's wicked stuff ...

  16. i can always buy more if needed - the priority atm is getting all the jobs done that require a welder and a ramp :)

  17. If your welder chap has a compressor and a cavity wax gun then buy a 5 litre container of dynax
    It will do a better job and work out cheaper than the aerosol cans
