Henry Webster:
Fair enough, thanks Wolfie! :wink: Very useful link!
My point about why you would want it any other way still stands tho!

Just something I fancy, the ability to run with nothing but the spot lamps on. plus just for odd situations when it may be better to use them over the headlamps.

Fair enough, whatever floats your boat! :lol: Just from experience when you want to run the spotlights, you will be wanting as much light as you can, so main beam as well will always help.

Ok got two more jobs for the list
- PAS Leaking
- THINK that the front oil swivel seal has gone Drivers side.
All in the line of work though, and the sidelights fixed :)

Alan, the bloke who runs www.fertan.co.uk will tell you for definite (nice bloke)... but last time I asked:
--- Quote ---For a road car it is enough to use Fertan Rust Converter and then an under-seal wax to have a surface that is unlikely to need general replacement/work for twelve to fifteen years.
The inside of any steel structures should be treated with Fertan, rinsed out, and then sprayed with cavity wax.
In a more hostile environment I would suggest that you paint everything you can with two or three coats of something designed to be waterproof. These days I'd look for epoxy paints as they are just so much more resistant to water penetration.
With everything rust free and protected from water the next stage is to protect these coats from impact damage.
The normal recommend is UBS120 but I would suggest that OVER4, a stone chip protector, would be better. It will resist in-use scuffing and stone damage well and not be bothered by jet washing.
Products, quantities and prices.
Fertan rust converter - have five litres, probable use is 3-4
OVER4 - I've a customer who regularly improves the protection on new land rovers prior to exporting them and they use 6 - 8 litres per vehicle.

In all honesty, I realise that some of the products are not cheap, but I know of people who swear by Fertan (it's my girlfriends dads mini bits on the Fertan site), and if it guarantees a rust free Land Rover for years to come, it can't be bad.
I will be doing my 90 as soon as I get chance!!
