I’m looking at getting the Landy rust protected with something like Waxoyl. I’ve chatted with the guy at www.before-n-after.co.uk who suggested Waxoyl over his Ermintrude product due to the cars age I guess and of course I can’t afford the £1700 cost of it? The cost for Waxoyl is £460+VAT. Would anyone like to post any experiences of such work undertaken including but not limited to...? Recommendations of companies? Was it worth doing? Mess afterwards, i.e. working on the car after treatment? Do you put diff guards and the like on before or after? Any comments are welcome... Cheers, Blue Skies

My first post so please be gentle. I'm the proud owner of a 2007 Defender TDCi (PUMA) and for a good while now I’ve been trying to source a pair of aluminium replacement gear knob's. My search has been conducted mainly over the internet but alas with no joy. The problem is the new gearbox configuration is not the same as historic versions. It then dawned on me to try the dealer as the SVX has these so should be available as a replacement part. I phoned my local dealer and couldn't believe the quotation given... £359 + VAT for the gear knob and 457 + VAT for the high/low knob so all in all with VAT that is a cool £958.80 for the pair!!! I remember Jeremy Clarkson talking about the ridiculous price for a replacement indicator arm for a Bugatti Veyron being something like £2,500 but never did I think that it might compare to the price of similar parts for the Humble Landy!!! Does anyone know where a reasonably priced alternative can be found? Cheers, Blue Skies
