damage

Dear Forum, I wonder if anyone has had a similar disaster? I have had a recent leak through one of the roof seals on my SL55 AMG which has lead to rain water dripping onto the passenger seat....and making it very wet. (These are the perforated leather seats). The seat has got wet and mold...

As per title whilst travelling home from relatives last night went over a collapsed drain on seven hills road Weybridge causing a double nearside blowout & damaging both nearside alloys(the airmatic suspension doesn't seem right either).Contacted mercedes breakdown who will take the car to mb...

Hi hello, Had a crappy monday, my missus had to take my mother to the hospital at 1am as she had a fever and she is currently on chemo. Anyone in this situation knows that means a trip straight to hospital. ( I didn't go because I had to go to the same hospital for chemo of my own ) Any...

never seen one in this colour, i really like it but not sure about the blue leather, wish it wasn't damaged and i'd have been down there picking it up 2006 '56' MERCEDES CLS 63 AMG AUTO BLUE | eBay

Hi all, I managed to scrape my front alloy wheel today against the kerb. Very annoying but I've only damaged part of the rim. There are scratches and grooves about a quarter of the circumference. I note that you can get a kit from eBay to repair alloys for around £12. Are these any good or...

Ok, yeah, I know it's rather uncouth, but .. it's good to be fore-armed (that sounds wrong!). When one has a V8 on a nice sunny day (remember them?) and an empty, narrow, echoey (is that a word?) tunnel, it is a little tempting to stop, wind down the windows, and give it some! Now while spin...

Hi I came out this morning this morning to find the drivers side front tyre on my S211 flat. No problem, I'll just take it to the local tyre place and see if they can repair it. When I got there and they put it on the ramp they told me "you better come and see this". The Conti Sport Contacts...

Just realised that my car has been hit last when I was out seeing some mates in Bristol. Bonnet and grill both damaged grrr. The car that done the damage I am adamant was a blue X5 that was parked in front. I have no reg number though. My only hope is that particular parking area you have to...

Just kerb'd my rim and the tyre had a small chunk missing out of it now... Its a vredresetin Wintrac extreme and the damage is on the 'rim flange'. The air is still fine.... Am I screwed and need to buy a new one??? Paid £190 only three months ago!! :(

My battery leaves white acid dust around the metal support (battery in the boot). I cleaned the support and surrounding area last year and painted the damaged metalwork around. Checked the battery a couple of days ago and found the same acid damage. I pulled out the battery and discovered that...

Hello! For the first time ever, I managed to hit a kerb at 40mph today - overlooked the fact that there was a curve in the road! Didn't mount the kerb just scraped along and bounced back. The alloy is scraped on the rim all the way round (where it meets the tyre) and there's a bit of...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. As the title states, I have a dash that has some damage. The colour is silver-grey. I was just wondering where I could get hold of this paint or how I could cover up the damage? It is not for the Mrcedes, but a Honda. Thanks dokalj

So, unfortunately my wife had a bit of a mishap today, nobody hurt thankfully but our W124 estate didn't fair so well, unlikely to be fixed with a bit of T-Cut! Its off in the garage at the moment and they'll let me know on Monday what their estimate is for repair, but while waiting with bated...

Hello all, I am a newcomer to Mercedes ownership having bought one 2 weeks ago. The car is a 2003 CLK 320 W209 with 58k on the clocks if that helps? I bought it with 18" AMG alloys, have no idea which type though. Anyway, I have noticed today that the rear tyres are exactly the same as the...

I have managed to scuff my rear wheel tonight, not happy:mad: I have the 19" black wheels but the scuff is on the outside edge, so not to bad but i want to get it repaired. I am based in Newbury so any recommendations would be appreciated. I also took out the minor damage insurance on my...

Hi, First post here since becoming the keeper of a 02 S230 CDI, and perhaps a little too exuberant on a back road and now the questions start. I damaged the oil sump, and I managed to get pulled in and stopped very quickly so as to ensure no engine damage. The oil sump was repaired, but only...

Yep, it's happened to me now :mad: Had my Ka parked at a show, in a field, in neat rows under the supervision of the car park attendants. I thought there was bags of space between the cars, in fact I parked intentionally so there was. Anyway, clearly I hadn't left quite enough for the person...

I was wondering if anyone can provide some guidance . In my previous thread I mentioned I again broke my front grill on c63 after just 2mnths of having it fixed. I have had no body damage and last time I checked haven't run over anything dead or alive. Phoning mb they just say I'm unlucky...

Hi This is my first post so thanks in anticipation of any replies/help. I've had my steering wheel and airbag stolen from my 09 C200 Sport. Under normal circumstances, I'd be unable to confirm/verify whether or not the car was locked (of course, I DO lock it, but normally do it on autopilot so...

Is there a database that Joe Public can access where you can determine what accident repair has been done to a second hand car, through an insurance company I've spoken to HPI and they record Cat A,B,C,D where the insurance company has paid out in full for the car, i.e, a write off, but not...
