Project drive and the implications on the zs?
So as I understand it the mk2 ZS s were most afected by mg rovers costcutting? Is it best to full coat the underside with a good waxoyl then or what? Arches etc etc? Even the old 400s rust bady on the arches.

Definately worth giving it the once over.

Apart from the fuel tank the underside of my car is pretty good and covered. It's even been sprayed in the x power grey colour.
But then i did get one of the first ones in the showroom.

Red Oxide is another one you can use I think.

Waxoyl is a sticky oily spray that is used to protect metal from the elements... IIRC it's about £20/gallon.

VW used so much wax in their cavities it used to slowly leak out, especially the tailgate staining the plastic bumper.

Yeah I meant a coat of red oxide then some underseal or whatever you choose.
It was recommended to me when I went down my local motorfactors in search of underseal, so dont really know much about it myself.
