Had a new tandem pump fitted on Monday. Whilst the cover is all nice and shiny should I apply some grease or oil now to increase its longevity ??? Any suggestions ? waxoil ? grease ? oil ?

Also had the front PU resprayed and moved the number plate fixings onto a Zunsport centre grill.

Just waiting for some sunshine now...... :thumbs:

Nice, yes put something on the TP, ACF 50 is easier to apply than wayoyl but needs doing every year.
ACP do a replacement cover that it supposed to be corrosion resistant , and there is also a stainless over cover avail but both those options are about £175

:agree: +1 on what Phil says. I had the TP replaced a while ago and it was given a coating of waxoil. Last time I looked it was holding up well.

The stainless cover goes over the top of the existing one where as the ACP one is a direct replacement

Did exactly same with my front plate on my previous car :thumbs:

I think it's the best place. Assuming you dont have a central rad.
