Engine Protection - Rust

[dhutch]

With the damp weather well and truly here, is the a decent solution to preventing rust in the engine bay.
- Obvously in an idea world it would all be painted and alumium and shiny.
- However in practice its not, and theres rust all over the show, geting worse.

So whats an affective protection method.
- Im thinking spray it all in wd40 or simular, but idealy somthing a bit better?
- Is silicon spray a good idea, or else just go mad and spray i all with sumpoil?

I had a mate with a series landy. The oil filler cap came off on the motorway once.
- Made a right mess, thick black diesal engine oil everywhere. But it didnt rust in there again.

Thoughts?

What car is it?

Its just a highmilage 306 im thinking about in question.
- All the body work etc is fine, all the nuts/bolts/brackets/hoseferrels etc are just rusting away!
- Obvously i could cleaning each part down and derust/convert it, painting, shine it, polish it.
- But its really not worth it, i just would like a bit less of it to rusting quite so muchlymuch!!

Yeah, i;ve head a lot of good stuff about por-15, its just a case that much of whats rusting doesnt really want to be painted.
- As i say, its just ferreled ends, little metal clips and brackets.

I might just leave it, but it greves me a little even if she is just another 306 with rather to many miles on the clock to ever have any resale value.

Yeah, i think its going to be that really isnt it.

- Just a brain child thought when i saw some in the shop the other day.
