Ordered a roll of sound deadening for the Austin, bloody expensive!!

Range Rover going into my indi today, got a brake fluid leak on rear offside, glad I noticed it before towing the tin tent.

Know where the leak is from, ie, caliper, flex hose or rigid pipework?

Picked up Range Rover this morning, all 4 rear flexi pipes replaced (inner & caliper) + link pipes all up to scratch now., cause of problem rear flexi pipes had disconnected itself from rear link line due to corrosion.👍

Whilst the bits are new, might be would applying some anticorrsion treatment to the metal parts of new flexis, given the amount of salt we have thrown on the road.  Save cleaning them up later to do

Yes will do , the roads around here have been gritted well but certainly don't do vehicles any favours.

Took the Range Rover into my local tyre supplier this morning, up on the ramps & rust protection applied, I'm too old now to lay under cars..👍

Rust proofing underbody components is a good preventative measure, but depending on the anti rust substance used and the diligence of the person applying it, the protection of metal parts is a good idea in principle, but some anti rust waxed based products, whilst great on metal parts, are harmful to rubber components if carelessly applied and can cause rubber bushes / hoses etc to degrade and become like jelly.
But I presume your man does know what he is doing

Yes no problems with that he did my Hyundai & has also done our Subaru so no worries there 👍

Got it wet.    A lot of roads out our way are flooded so the highway’s people have put traffic lights either side of each flood to allow traffic in both directions to have a chance at going through the shallow bit without some tool coming the other way. 
I have first hand experience of one of the floods, as I completely drowned my Dad’s brand new car in it many many years ago. This particular flood (road currently closed) has, within the last few days, completely eaten a 4x4 and a Transit van. You can just about see the van roof level with the water    It’s a dip under a railway bridge and *steered well clear of* by locals at the merest hint of rain.

**
I am local but I was young and unaware that it flooded so bad back then.    There is a shallow end which starts at just inches deep and gradually rises to over seven feet deep over a distance of approximately two hundred yards, and a deep end from the ridge which puts you straight in the deep end. The graded end gives you some warning as it gets deeper gradually, whereas the deep end is instantly deep.
Guess which end I went in.
