Subject:      Re: Rust prevention...

I agree with Tim S on the rust check (and about Peugeots as well). We had both the Renault and the Westy sprayed by them for about 110 each. (plus they give Club Z points). Once the holes are drilled you can diy every year using the spray can method. The only down side is that the oil attracts dust so the Ivory colour of the Van has now become gray.. a good reason to buy a dark colour I suppose....DC

There are several key areas in the Wsty that should be sprayed - rocker panels of course but also the rear engine compartment and high above in the roof area where the oil can creep down with time.
