I go the old fashioned route - can’t remember the brand but it’s a tin from Halfords - like oily tar - whack it on with a brush. I’ve been tempted to try Lanoguard but had a full tin in the garage to use up. I have an mk2 MX5 that gets a coat every year and it’s pretty much rot free
I’m going to have to nip to the garage and check
Yep, Hammerite - tin has a bit of yellow lettering but mainly black
Just wiring the van and got on of these C-Line 12v Bluetooth speakers, pretty good sound for its size, works well for background music and plan to mount in a 3 socket face plate along with a dimmer and 240v socket. NOTE: Plaster is due to slicing hand whilst carpeting last weekend 
Thats a tremendous website - thanks for sharingFinally got round to fitting my new knob, a well worthwhile investment in time & money. A word of warning only buy if you have a manual van
Soo all day then ?
yea, it wasnt a quick job...
Do you do this to stop anything growing in there while not in use? If so, what do you use if you do not mind me asking
Milton steriliser.
About once a month I drain and refill about half way. Leaving some space facilitates lots of slipping about, which is good for cleanliness.
Final tank prior to draining for winter I give it a dose of Puriclean.
Rinse and repeat in the spring, another dose of Puriclean halfway through the season.
That seems to keep it clean enough, and any water for human consumption goes through the kettle anyway.
Thanks for this, as @Bav mentions. I have used Milton sterilising solution in the past. I will have a look at puriclean too
I'm a Puriclean bloke too, twice during the season, once at the end. Not dead yet! We always take out a dozen little bottles of drinking water, usually bringing 10 back home!
Likewise. There is no water left in the container overnight, or over winter. Puriclean again in spring.
