£80is cheap so make sure that they will give the underside a good propper cleaning first. no point sealing much dirt and moisture between the underseal and floorpan. also make sure they don't get any on the outside paintwork as it's a pita to get off

£80 is roughly what Subaru charge to top-up the underseal on your car every few years

£80 should buy you a pi55 poor attempt which will probably cause more harm than good in the long run.

i found the best way for me was to spring a crack in the engine block and then drive around everywhere for the next 3 months without doing anything (othre then topping the oil up every day) that has given me the mother of all underseals...

other than that £200.00 seems to be the going rate. or "DIY"

little bibo will be able to do it for you, i'm sure!!!

A job best left to someone that fancies getting covered in sh1te IMO.

Undersealing is a crap job, id much rather pay someone else to do it, or strip off any remaining underseal and polish the **** off the underside instead

you can have it mate, used some of it to underseal my van after I welded up the crossmember, but should be more than enough to do the scoob, if not I can get you another tin at trade prices mate

Cheers mate , Do I just "cake it" like I used to on my Mini's, or do I need a more scientific approach?
