Dam good stuff is that, it'll be prefix I'm sure and sprayed on it'll get into all the nooks and crannys.

Pressure or hose wash all the mud, then wire brush as much as you can. If you did find some rust spots treat using one of the rust remedies out there before may be priming and shutzing.

trolley jacks are poorly rated, for instance the 2 tonne jobbies from the likes of Lydl struggle to lift the rear end of a T2 yet the whole car is only 1.8 tonnes, but I have one in both our road going motors cos they are far more stable than the Nissan offering for a wheel change, and as said jack it up but if going under axle stands are a must, Rick

Very good advice, I use Bilt Hamber products and am very impressed with it.

My old Sealey jack was rated at 1.25 ton and it used to lift my T2 and also my old Series LR's, you only lift part of the vehicle after all.
I now have a 3.25 ton Sealey, use axle stands or ramps, I also have large lumps of wood which I drive the truck onto when I do oil changes.

Dam auto correct still catches me out, "prefix" should of been "perfect" god knows how auto correct comes up with alternatives
