Hi I have a 2001 SLK 230. Owned it for quite some years now and it's been my favourite car. It's only done 60k so I'm planning on keeping it (after considering leasing a new SLK). Right, now I'm interested in some different opinions and recommendations on repairing some bodywork, some chav...

As seems to be quite common with Mercs, my 2003 C230k is rusting at every arch at the min. It's a real shame as it's a lovely car otherwise and generally drives really well, so of it's not too expensive, I'd like to try and sort it out a bit. I'd probably look at having replacement front wings...

hi, my vito has a lot of quit a lot of rust underneath. As far I can tell not structural, just surface rust. I have successfully treated and removed rust from the bodywork. But from what I understand to remove the rust from the underbody, you have to; clean, remove surface rust (wire brush it)...

On the drivers side wheel arch there is a small rust spot and a button paint bubble next to it. It's not enough to warrant a respray. I was going to lightly sand the area to remove the rust and bubbled paint then apply some kind of rust remover then get chips away to put the colour on it. Does...

Hi chaps, I am looking at a Cossie in Holland. The car has some rust and has also has some rust repairs. I have some pictures, but I am in doubt of how bad it could be. I have received some feedback from our Amerian friends, but it seems that they are more hysterical about the brown stuff...

Have a flat battery, and on taking it out noticed a fair amount of rust underneath (although nothing structural). Battery isn't leaking btw.. Haven't patched up rust before so was looking for some basic pointers. Was gonna brush out the rust that's there, then use some rust eater gel, then...

Hi all, I think the title says it all really. How do I remove the rubber trim/ seal (where the glass slots in with windows up ) in order to tackle rust bubbling up on top of door frame. Concious I could just yank it out but undoubtedly risk damaging it. Any insights much appreciated. Thank you

Hello I have a 2000 E320 which has some small amounts of surface rust around a wheel arch and by the front bumper, does anyone know of a mobile service in Devon that could fix it for me or a good body shop that won't cost a fortune ? Many Thanks. George

So washed and waxed my car this morning then washed the wheels. Got to the 4th 1 and found that it is starting to bubble on the insider of the rim. No other damage anywhere near it just starting to bubble!! Not very happy. Always washed them with just water and triplewax shampoo. Wheels are...

Hi guys, Have been the proud owner of my second ever car (I'm 21), a Mercedes C180K Sport Coupe in Jasper Blue for 10 months now and love it. However recently it has started to corrode on both front wheel arches and I think my only option now is to replace both front wings. I just wondered if...

Hi all I was just having a general look around underneath my car when over at a friend who has a lift. I noticed a few spots of rust on my brake pipe in one location, nothing major but would like to prevent any more. Is the best option to sand down the rust spots lightly and cover in grease or...

After fitting the correct size tyre for 19" wheels on my car, I had a look to see what, if anything, the scuffs did (less than half a dozen times) to my rear wheel arches. The answer is not a lot other than clean the muck of the inside of the arch. However, I noticed whilst examining them that...

I haven't posted for a while, as my car is running tickety boo and is lovely and waftable and all is good in the world, very happy. However, after a full valet it is now clear that tin worm is present in a lot of places. This is a 2004 face lift car (I thought these were galvanized?) and 6...

Found this lurking whilst prepping the sill / jacking point repair :( Door bottoms are known points for Rust on the 210, she was fine when I bought her..... but that was 4 years 50K and 4 salty winters ago, these are the bits you dont normally see or look at Door Rubber Off next here...
