2cvs/Dyanes are pretty specialist TBH and a lot of what you know about 'normal' vehicles is kinda lost on these things! You're telling me! |

Wow, such a lot of information! Thanks everyone. I'm going to have to take elements of lots of bits of info here.. I'd be buying up stocks of BH Dynax, but I'm concerned that it's now too cold to apply it with any great effect, and could end up with what Grunty describes.. I wasn't aware of that issue, ColonelK, but the fact I use Wilko/Morrisons Value etc. 20w50 mineral should mean there's less risk of additives doing any harm. Neil, that information is incredible. Thank you  The rust has come in in one of the places you highlighted.. The spongey stuff between the firewall and the floor has rotted both above and below it. I'll be chopping off the lower section of the firewall, repairing the floor, then putting new metal in the firewall too. |

Dynax goes on lovely no matter what the temperature - it's really fluid - i pumped a load in the sills of my Acadiane just after Christmas last year - the dynax managed to find it's way out between spot welds! |

I've bought Bilt Hamber stuff from various sources. Buying direct is often quite slow, they are a manufacturer more than a retailer. Best place I have found is Agriemach www.agriemach.com/Only problem with them is they sell so much cool stuff you will probably buy something else at the same time! |
