Repair small scrape on rear bumper (Nead advice from Steve) Sounds like a grand reason for a May visit to Northern 35-land to me To replace the one that was cancelled due to unforseen humungeous weather! The Fli is happy to have a gander at rest of list at same time too Is back after May errr 20 something, maybe earlier - will PM There are aftermarket products available to cure the rust, here's one that I was very happily involved in the relaunch of: www.hammerite.co.uk/guide/kurust.jsp(available amazon and also in France) Paint on. Very interested in DIY water level alarm ! |

Hi Ali.
Rover 75 1.8 are prone to head gasket failure due to coolant loss (small capacity so small leak means big problem), coolant level kits are available for around £70, BUT, I have an idea how to put one together for around £15, I will post picies when I experiment.

When I used to mess about renovating old motors, I always used Phosphoric acid for rust removal. Can be got as a liquid or as a gel (useful for surfaces that liquid would drain off).
It turns the iron oxide into ferric phosphate which wire brushes off leaving a good clean metal finish.
My mate believed that positive earth wiring systems accelerated rusting in motors so he always fitted sacrificial anodes to the sills.
ps I have never tried electrolysis, but my brother in law, who restored motorbikes, had a big plastic tank that he 'cleaned his iron bits in. He always said that doing it this way converted some of the ferric oxide back to iron, but I have no proof of this.

Bugger, I have one of those intelligent battery chargers which analyze the battery before charging, no battery = no current.
Anybody got a PC power supply they don't want ?
