    W210 holes in front wings from rust - Corrosion Guarantee?

    Mercedes state that when they say inside to outside, Inside means, and I quote "inside the actual Metal" They say it has nothing to do with galvanising or interior / exterior coatings on the surface. The rust must start from within the metal itself! Therefore mobilo life will never cover...

    Granite worktop: resize cutout?

    These cut outs are normally done with a router type machine, with a very expensive cutter. They run the cutter around a template, and progressively plunge the cutter deeper into the granite. When my Granite was fitted, the they did all the 30mm worktops in the factory, but put the taphole in...

    Vehicle Health Check

    Hello I have read all the posts on the VHC on here about it being a bit of con and MB just trying to get work, but I think its a good idea and you don't have to have the work done. However, looking on different dealers websites, the VHC seems to vary from about a 6 point 10 min check to a...

    CLK or C-Class? (My first Merc)

    Google mercedes and rust first, you might change your mind then. 2002 was right in the middle of a very bad period for rusty mercs. :crazy: If you do buy, be very suspicious if there is no rust, and check it very carefully.

    M1 Speed Cameras Nottingham

    If the area is an average speed area, with camera's measuring anyone doing more than a 50 mph average speed, then the implication must surely be that the speed limit is higher than 50MPH?

    I was referring to an average speed zone, not a 50mph speed zone. Is there a speed limit in an average speed zone? :confused:

    Post your Miles per Tank (overall MPG)

    I have a B200cdi Manual, I got the computer upto 71.4mpg, but pic shows same as golf bluemotion, as I took the pic thinking 70.1 was going to the best I could get. Based on that the tank range should be over 850 miles! I got 71.4 mpg after driving at 60 - 65mph for nearly 200 miles.

    In an average speed limit zone say 50mph as is typical, can you enter the zone, and park up for 10 mins, and then drive at 150mph for 5 mins, average speed is still 50mph, is that OK? You would cover the same distance 12.5 miles in the same 15 min time, in each case. Ie. can a stretch of...

    Rough Cost per square meter for Tarmac / Black Paving or concrete Paving?

    Sounds expensive to me. Tarmac is priced at roughly £1 a square foot. or £2 if you need a base layer if you are laying on poorer substrate / hardcore. So you should be looking at between £1000 and £2000 tops for the area. This is from a professional, not an Irish team who turn up with some...

    No diamond white?

    Seems to me that we are going through the early eighty's colours all over again. We have had silver, and then black, now we are on white (remember all those RS cars and XR3's) so next we should be moving on to RED and then maybe the dark anthracites of the late 80's & early 90s. Why not go...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    I don't have a pic, but we have a F1 CAR local to us. It has been on lots of mundane type vehicles mostly. A friend of mine has YE55 FOX & PU51 FOX And another local Car Bentley Coupe has PU51EEE I think or something similar.

    B Class Rust

    Yours sounds the same as mine, although yours is 8 years old, mine was 4 and a half years old with severe rust! I agree totally with you. If the rust is not caused from damage by chips or scratches, then it is coming from the inside out. a piece of metal totally protected by paint will not...
