Well, having decided the Ro is a keeper and with the weather turning increasingly wintery I decided to take the plunge and underseal mine. Took it to M&S Motorsport in Potters Bar, Herts and they did a really good job on it. Took them two days, but they stripped off heat shields and all other bits and pieces cleaned off the underside with brake cleaner and then sealed it with some VW sealer stuff and seam sealer. Even took a photo record of the job. Very impressed.
Hopefully the car will resist the rot for a good while now. Looking at their photos there was bugger all rot proofing on the car as standard.

Photos...unfortunately I don't have the photos, they showed them to me on their computer, plus I'm a computer spaz and even if I did have them I haven't a clue how to post them. Sorry!
As for costs, they charged me £180. However, they did say if they do another Ro they will have to charge a bit more as it was a bigger job than they expected (stripping off all the bits etc) The best thing would be to give them a ring.

Wow, that's cheap. Does it include cavity wax?

Indeed. The materials we use for this come to an average of £141.00!

Um, not 100% sure. I'll have to ask. As for it being cheap, they did say they'd under priced the job, hence to ring for a price if you want a Ro doing. Mine was the 1st one they'd done, so it was a learning curve for them. I feel confident they've done a good job though.
