What have you done to your Elgrand today?

I started on Monday to under seal with Lanoguard stripping all the plastic work off and just finished underselling it today now putting it back together.
But I did have one problem my space saver wheel has completely rotted away so I need a new spare wheel if anyone has one going spare let me know.

This is the 1st time I have used it I have done a lot of research and a lot of people on here also use it it good you have to top it up every year this is the 1st time my vehicle has been done it's been here over 5 years with no problems.
The main reason why I decided to use this is you can see exactly what's going on I would not buy a car with black under seal.

Hi Andy did you power wash the underside before hand
 
Same as you Andy, started to do the undersealing. Plan to use lanoguard again, used it before and it's easy. Underside not bad at all, bit of surface rust now treated with neutrarust 661 and plan to paint over with hammerite black so I know where I've been, lastly I'll lanoguard all over. Going to go down all sills with the lanoguard grease too.20240619_133218.jpg20240619_150216.jpg20240619_150224.jpg

£200 for fitting tyres 😵‍💫😵‍💫😳😳 my local place charged £50 for fitting 4 new tyres balanced and new valves.

£50 is a bargain. I tend to use Hunter's road force balancer nowadays as by doing that it got rid of some vibrations I had in my Subarus. Mind you, it's not cheap at £20-25 to balance a wheel.
 
Well, excuse the non-Elgrand related, but got the 4 Bridgestone Potenza S001s fitted on my MX-5 ND by the only guy I'll let withing 100 miles of my wheels. Guy's a monster. Washed and scrutinised and not a whiff of a mark on them (and they're as-new). Car feels much more taut, steering better, ride lovely and measured, like a car equivalent of Federer playing tennis. Astonishing how much different the (same) new tyres feel compared to 6 year old 3mm (ish) ones which they replaced.
