Re: Advice needed on selling price

Thanks for that additional advice. I had noticed when taking photos that the seats were different to most that I see in pictures, but I am pleased to see they are genuine Moggy seats. These seats were freed up by the installation of Newton commercial front seats. ​The rear seat is still in situ and ...

Advice needed on selling price

I have these two Moggy seats for sale and have no idea what price I should set.
Any advice would be welcome.

They are vinyl and there are no tears or holes or wear.

Thanks Donald, all good info. Do you find it best to run it overnight when its coldest or during the day?

Re: Anti Rust Products

Hi Donald
Did you buy the EcoAir DD1 Classic MK5 Blue. Its a bit unclear if you can set your own humidity at which it goes to sleep. Can you advise.

Re: Anti Rust Products

Did you manage to reduce your 98% RH a bit? I am hoping that once i have the new dehumidifier i will be nearer the 70% mark almost all the time and once the floor is done i aim for something in the region of 55-65%RH. We will see. My internal humidity tracks fairly close to the external humidity bu...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Out of interest we've had a fair bit of rain overnight in Herts. Outside its about 4 degC and 90%RH. This type of humidity is perfectly normal in damp winter conditions In the garage its also 4degC but 98%RH, which is not so good. Thankfully there is no condensation on the car. But, I have taken my ...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Sounds like you've got some pretty challenging conditions - are you in Scotland? I think you are going in the right direction with the dehumidifier and flooring. For the ultimate you could try building a little retractable tent over the Moggy using something like sturdy polythene sheeting from Wicke...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Possible ways to avoid condensation on our Moggys in the garage Some of these have been captured by other posters in this thread. Lots of fresh air If all surfaces are at the same temperature, and all surrounding air is at the same %RH, its scientifically unlikely that condensation will occur, so a...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Relative Humidity the science At a given temperature air is capable of holding airborne water vapour. If the air is perfectly dry then this is defined as having 0%RH (zero % relative humidity) and if the air is saturated with water vapour it is on the point of condensation and is at the opposite en...

Re: Anti Rust Products

"it came freshly painted with underseal but I am not a big fan of it as it tends to flake and rusts under it." The term underseal tends to cover a wide range of products. I prefer to categorise them as skin forming and non skin forming. Any skin forming product, when damaged, will allow wa...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Hi Donald

Glad some of this stuff is useful. Its just me rambling, but if it helps just one other person then its worth it. Just off to watch a bit of football then later may tackle the challenge of explaining Percentage Relative Humidity (RH) :)

Re: Anti Rust Products

Re: Anti Rust Products

Some more ramblings. There is a great temptation to wrap up the moggy nice and warm in the garage, but please be careful what you use. Many car covers are intended for outdoor use and rightly are impervious to moisture. If you use them indoors any moisture evaporating from the floor will be trapped ...

Hi Donald Glad things have improved. I will go on to elaborate on my rust theories in further postings and some of the stuff may be relevant to you.

Re: Anti Rust Products

Just so we all understand what is happening. Rust is formed by the reaction between oxygen and iron with water as a catalyst. Remove any one of those and the rusting stops dead. We cant remove the iron as that’s our Moggys, but we can try to exclude the oxygen and moisture from the surface. This is ...

Re: Anti Rust Products

Hi Donald I come to this topic a bit late as I have only recently bought my minor. In order for iron to rust it requires water/moisture for the chemical reaction to take place. It’s odd that your car doesn’t go out in the rain and is dry stored, so you need to determine where the moisture is coming ...
