Where does one obtain said Lanolin and how would one apply it?

Milk a sheep

It is the oil that comes from wool, should be able to buy it from almost any spare parts shop.

Comes as a greese, oil and spray.

Also good for leather's, bike wet weather gear, and a host of other thing's.

Hope I get paid for this add.

The Lanolin based stuff is supposed to be good, I've seen it in accessory shops. No unnatural chemicals. All natural sheep based.

I'd just be worried about fly-strike and having to "dip" the disco and have it mulesed.

I'd be more worried about the kelpie trying to round up the disco and stick it in a jam tin,,,

:wink:

I'd have to sell the Disco and buy a Defender Ute to hijack the kelpie....

Now there is a thought for the Disco:

A little angle grinding, some welding and a tray back 8O

In Northern Europe we don't drive our vehicles on the beach but on salty roads during winter. And there is no chance of hosing down the salt all the time. Car wash visits become expensive if you have to do it on a daily basis.
There are good corrosion protection treatments available (though I don't know if they are available in Oz as well), like Tuff Kote Dinol, Mike Sanders or the like. Mainly wax based liquid chemicals that penetrate even in the smallest fold or gap. Best results you'll achieve in warm weather. Another very good treatment, although you have to renew it every now and then, is linseed oil. Spray (with an airbrush) or brush it on liberally, soak all the exposed parts of your vehicle and don't forget the inside of the chassis.
After having treated your vehicle you have to stay off your mother-in-law's driveway for at least a week :!: , otherwise you'll run into trouble since your Landrover's territory marking habits will definitely get worse.
