rusty

I have a friend who owns a car body shop, I popped in yesterday to see him, and there in his work shop was a pretty newish Bentley. Turns out it was a 2000 model and they had welded a patch into the bottom of the rear wheel arch because of rot,,whats even worse is that apparantly the bentley...

Is this as common as I'm being lead to believe? I've been getting a rough vibration running through the car during heavy braking. After road testing and a visual inspection the garage said it was down to rust patching on the rear brake discs. Most likely cause they said was washing the wheels...

The stage has come where I may replace my W124 230E, which has been very reliable over the last six years of ownership but now getting tatty about the front wings.This is acceptable for a 15year old car. The problem is what do I replace it with : I want something with the same solid klunk that...

The look of my wheels tend to be spoilt by the rusty looking disc calipers and hubs. I was thinking about a quick coat of heat resistant black paint. What do you think and would it look really naff if I sprayed the calipers silver? I don't want it to look like a boy racer's car. :)

hi all, i have a '96 e280 with terrible rust on the front wings. had 1 of these mobile ppl come round and do the nessecary but its all come back. i think the only real solution to this is to replace the wings. does anyone have an idea of what kind of cost this could be and if anyone knows any...

Hi Folks, Bit of a tricky situation here. I have just bought a (99)T C200 estate from a non-Merc. dealer, therefore no warranty. It just did not occur to me that a 5 year old Merc could have rust so I didn't even bother to look. However, lo and behold, while polishing the car this weekend...

Are very rusty brake calipers a fair warrantee claim?

My mums W202 has rust on ALL FOUR wheel arches, does anyone know of a sympathetic Mercedes Dealer in the Mancester area that will kick up the minimum amount of fuss about a claim?

Hi all Bought a Nov 98 E300 TD Estate last week after a long search for the right car at sensible money. It has covered 160K with a full history and i bought it privately from the guy who collected it from the factory. It has never been damaged although there are quite a few stone chips in...

MB Collindale have replaced the rusty bolts but refuse to replace the rusty calipers or brake disks (hubs). Advice please.

Last night, I decided to replace my number plates with new ones I bought just before the GTG (mbclub specials!). Unfortunately, three of the four screw heads on the front one were rusted away :crazy: . As I applied pressure with my phillips, the screw head just disintegrated. How do I remove...

Hi The wheel bolts on my 99 CLK are rusting *again*. They have been replaced by my dealer 4 times, but as it is now out of warranty, I expect the dealer to refuse to replace them again. My wheels are also corroding again (been replaced by MB once already), but they won't replace them again...
