    How do you go about sorting rust?

    Ooer - Rust

    Took the 220CE in for a service Friday and asked them to take the engine shield off and look at the metalwork. Lucky I did as the subframe was pretty shot although repairable, also a hole in the floor, front passenger side. Given the extent of the corrosion I wonder how it got through its last...

    Do all MBs suffer from rust eventually?

    The dreaded R word appears in almost every thread, so this morning whilst washing my car I had a few thoughts: 1) Have there been any changes to production techniques and materials in recent years to give us hope that the future may be a bit brighter? 2) Is the degree of rust a factor of how...

    Rust repair before and after pics

    CKLClive (banished from these parts) of Benzworx repaired some of my W202's rust. I say "some" as to repair all of it would have cost more than the car is worth. He also dabbed some Bilt Hamber stuff around the place so it should never come back. Although I did tell him that I wasn't that...

    Rust pics, can this be treated?

    As per the title can I use the drainage holes to squirt some WD40, grease or any other product to fight and prevent the rust from spreading? The holes give easy access to where the rust is if using an aerosol and will seep into the lower bit of the tailgate where the water gathers and cant...
