I commented last how you can’t skip any of Mike’s videos as you never know what little gems of information you’re going to miss. Now here I am learning how to pour from a bottle properly, amazing. I’m currently going through the winter/MOT prep on my 110. However mine is taking me a little longer and resulted in me removing the rear axel and taking half the vehicle apart 😂 Top stuff as always Mike!
Nice job Mike 👍 I do them same every chance I get never mind winter! Learned this method when I rode around on a motorcycle come rain, snow or sunshine on the west coast of Scotland ✌️ great advice all the same!
Mike...Nov 4th in Scotland...was outside today in a T shirt working on my sister car for about 4 hours ...only put a jumper on when the sun was going down...
There's a UK ebay seller in Poland doing Krown T40 [the nearest equivalent to Mike's]. 3 x 1 litre cans £73 + £17 post works out at at an equivalent £15 for a 500ml can. A readily available in the UK alternative is ACF 50 which is available at varying prices but generally around £15 for a 500ml can. If Krown ever came to the UK in 500ml cans they will be, with the Brit Ripoff factor - £15 or more a can. If somebody sold weasel's milk in 500ml cans they would be........£15.
I genuinely had no idea that's how you pour from a bottle 🤣 rest ideas I'll be purchasing some crown if it's available in the UK that is... Great stuff Mike.
Fantastic video, I never realised that you can pour that way, I usually pierce the bottle to make an air hole to get the same, but ill try this next time. Nothing worse that all liquid splashing over everything!
hello mike, not snowing in england only lockdown again. anway i reconize those door handles, i think we had them on our Maestro vans in the 80s, talk about clown activity at l/rovers
I use Arai silicon that comes with each of their helmets for door rubbers, seems to work ok & as designed for top end race helmets seems to cause no damage !
Kellsport makes a great kit for spraying fluid film from the gallon can,cheaper than buying spray cans. Just fogged my Ram for the first time after my boycott of krown and it worked great.
I'm sure I saw that poppy shaking in fear everytime it saw that can of Krown .... must be the only thing on the whole vehicle that didn't get sprayed! 😀😀
Cocoa butter doesn't degrade rubber and works like a conditioner,a cyclonic snorkel top should spit out the water before it gets to the rubber drain hole that is supposed to close with intake suction but yours is kaput!:) wonder if alcohol 1984 hand sanitizer might be good as screen wash?
Just a quick one for you Mike ,tryout Jotun antifouling ! I work in the marine industry the reason why I'm telling you this is an old boy I know did his series 2 with it ( chassis that is ) so I did my defender 18 moths ago ,,,,,,and no rust showing as yet give it a go mate
Cheers old love ... also I've been a bit busy of late so only just catching up on things. What happened to Patreon. I can see you've got something else going so I've ditched it. What's the plan Stan?
So now you have a real Royal 130ty - all crowned up - that one came at the right time for me, should get out and do the same ... Anyone out there who knows which 'WD40' kind of type would be similar to the Krown (here in Europe) ? - Thanx Mike and cheeers Axel
Hopefully someone can comment, I purchased a can of Krown Rust Protection for my 1996 Defender 90 300tdi, and sprayed my engine bay lightly, no problems, when I asked my mechanic, not well versed in old land rovers btw, he freaked out and pointed to the flammable warnings on the label, now I'm afraid to do it again, "winter is coming" here to New Jersey, I use this as my daily driver and would like to protect it against the salt and sludge, please advise. Maybe I'll invest in a fire extinguisher. I also just had a new injector pump installed $$$, and would like to protect it.Thanks in advance for any advise.
Obviously not well versed in rust proofing or spray cans! Naturally there will be a risk of fire if you spray it near an open flame - but once the propellant has evaporated it is very safe - I did a video on this and once dry it will not catch fire - promise! Even WD40 will catch fire out of the can - but once dry it is fine I would be changing my mechanic... Lol!
I think Krown is in the UK - maybe Amazon? HubNut had a car rustproofed by it in the UK at a specialized shop look here ruclips.net/video/izkb1VQGX4g/видео.html
Hey Mike any chance you could stock the Krown products on your website and ship them across to us that dont have easy access ? cheers! keep up the good work legend
Sadly I cannot as they contain pressurised product and can only be shipped by sea - which can take 3 months However, I did find out from a viewer that Krown UK is out of stock due to Covid1984 as the factory used for filling the cans, has diverted production to doing hand sanitizer and hope to get back to Krown production soon
Always gives me the heeby-jeebies when I see a moving vehicle covered in snow like that. One good bump in the road and anybody following that vehicle is going to be wearing all that snow... which is especially scary if it's a motorbike. Dunno about Canada but in the UK you can be nicked for "vehicle in unsafe condition" for driving with snow on the roof, and rightly so IMO.
I think you have to look after yourself. Eating Labour costs for failed parts is no fun , I've been there . If you can afford to survive without customer jobs go for it ! .. Btw you crack me up with the Larry Grayson references ..i guess being old and English it strikes a chord .. peace and love brother from the UK .. 👍🏻☮❤
I was just online trying to find a UK supplier for your Krown rust proofing as it looks like it's good stuff. Looks a bit like that after shave they used to advertise with the slogan 'Slap it on all over', what was that brand now? Krown T40 rust proofing is listed on e-bay and Amazon but currently out of stock. Do you know if there's a UK supplier?
Off topic - need to change my TSS - automatic 96' Disco 1 - tell tale signs with sudden hesitation - especially if cruise control on - speedo bouncing - any thoughts on part ? (they are anywhere from $100-400) depending on supplier (not sure of brand) best way to access it ? is a failing TSS or wiring more likely - any knowledgeable thoughts welcome - thanks
Ive been looking but cant find that Krown available in the UK/EU... Anyone have any idea how we can get hold of it over here..? Or is the same formulation available under a different brand here..?
@@BritannicaRestorations The Canadian military uses it. Its thicker stuff and doesnt wash off as easy as Krown. Apparently it stops 90% of rust and Krown stops 70%. Was just wondering if you used it to see if it had any legitimacy!
As the 'Chap in the comments' thank you for the proof.😊😊😊 Early snow for your home county, the North Yorkshire Dales have had a light coating yesterday. Another bit of sage advice from you Mike.......oil your nuts!😂😂😂😇😇😇😇 Brilliant video as always.

Lots of compromises with Land Rovers .
hi sophie looking forward to your next upload.
I appreciate that!
Britannica Restorations Ltd One day you’ll sit down and fill one side of A4 , ‘ The Enduring Appeal of LR ‘ !
So glad I live in Queensland only winterizing I do is change air conditioner temperature
40 plus in summer you can keep that I would melt if we had tems like that in the summer mind you I do not like the cold much ether.
22:53 Land Rover owner's definition of 'spotless': 'no rust at all' :-)))
That's not going to happen!
Just like the cage for the washer jet you mentioned make one for the top of spray cans to stop your knob getting knocked off if dropped. 😆
Great tip!
Pun intended?
If your boss fires you, Crown will take you on as a sales rep. Good on you.
Nice job Mike 👍 I do them same every chance I get never mind winter! Learned this method when I rode around on a motorcycle come rain, snow or sunshine on the west coast of Scotland ✌️ great advice all the same!
That is awesome!
"stops slime sticking" hmmm, will it work on MP's? Send me a 40' container load please. 👍
It should
Holy Molie, I thought I knew everything! Turn the can upside down so it doesn’t glug! Lesson learnt, genuinely never thought of that!
There you go!
I've got an hour meter in my car but we call it a clock!
Lol!
Nice to see the poppy on your grill there Mike 👍
Thanks 👍
Still giggling at your "air bag" 😂😂👍👍
Lol!
It must just be me but I always remove the front floor mats over winter to allow the floor to dry out from all those dirty wet boots.
Mike...Nov 4th in Scotland...was outside today in a T shirt working on my sister car for about 4 hours ...only put a jumper on when the sun was going down...
Getting warmer here 0c lol!
Just found Lanoguard made from sheep and done seals and locks today as it snowed
See a video where a guy used a leaf blower to get snow off looked like it worked nicely
Yes - works only on fresh snow

The best spray bottle is Clorox with bleach spray. The plastic is more resiliant and the spray head also

I'm beginning to think you quite like the Crown product ;) Thanks Mike.
You bet
When you mentioned the Yaris I thought you were talking about the 'arriis!
Shame they don't sell krown in England
krown.co.uk/
yeah .. it's amazing how many people don't know how to pour from a bottle properly
14:44 - Mine leaks quite badly, I need to rebuild mine too, but only to seal it really.
I’ve never experienced a snow fall or such cold conditions. My weather channel shows Quebec is -10 deg Celsius at 8am in the morning. Gawd

Krown not readily available in US? Will keep looking.

@@BritannicaRestorations Thanks Mike, will give them a try.
Found a nearby body shop that sells Krown in the spray can!
I'd thought Krown and Fluid Film were more or less equivalent. How do you decide when to use one vs the other?
Fluid film is lanolin based and is more sticky - where as Krown is thinner but creeps into panels and is good for electrics
Is there a UK version of crown rustproofing? Looks like a must have.

On the exterior will this last all winter? Will it stay on even after a wash?
Yes
