rust

I seem to have what appears to be rust coming through on the top of the black trims on the door (as it meets the glass) - there is no physical rust or corrosion just now - but the black paint has a rainbow like discolouration to it in parts. On closer inspection - these look to be a separate...

One of my 19 " spoked wheels has started to rust around the hub. The wheels are just over 3 years old and therefore out of warranty. I've only had the car 3 months. I should have noticed it when I first checked the car BUT there is so much to check when buying a car that the rust escaped...

Hi, I noticed a noise from my front passenger side wheel, after removing the wheel I have noticed a considerable amount of rust on the spring perch (pic attached), is this repairable? as I see it seems to be welded onto the body. Anybody know a good bodyshop/welders in the northwest who can...

Hi Guys Got some rust forming at top of passenger door pillar. It's the shiny black bit if that makes sense. Is it possible to replace these if i rub it down? Ruins a good looking car, gutted to have rust on a 2004 vehicle tbh :( cheers

As with most W202s mine has rust all over the place, specifically, the front wings, the rear wings, two doors, the boot lid and, oddly enough, the rear just above the bumper. This is the worst I know of: So, what should I do first? Should I: a) get some rust prevention; b) get it...

If you have owned a W639 Vito or Viano, please vote! It would be handy to qualify with details such as the age of your vehicle (early ones were not galvanised), where and when the rust appeared, whether you had owned the vehicle from new, whether there had been any previous repairs (accident...

Last October I noticed a small area of rust around the tailgate handle on my ML, this same area had rust, about two and a half years earlier and was dealt with under warranty. I had contacted the dealer several times regarding this, and in January the car was booked in to be inspected, I had...

Guys, I recently had my 124 fully painted. Both front wings were replaced and the driver side rear arch was stripped back to metal and expertly repaired...as were 2 jacking points, the rear light cluster and a few other bits. So...i want to keep it rust free as long as possible. I know...

Hi, Friday night noticed my car keyed drive side, full length of the car not once or twice but three bloody times. It's so upsetting as I've only owned the car for under 4 weeks and is completely clean and rust free. For the sake person I hope I don't find him/her :mad: First thing I did was...

Is there any way to stop and hide rust without going to a body shop?

I apologise for the long-winded post. In September I bought a 2008 Vito 120 Sport Dualiner. It’s a compact model. I really wanted a Long Wheel Base version. However, when I had a test drive, this Vito gave out better vibes than I’d experienced on other test drives, so much so, that I had to...

Here`s yesterday`s snap of `old faithfull` Bit tatty but well serviced; just did a 500mile round trip the other day and averaged a tad over 40mpg. (brim to brim) Note the "staggered" AMG (AwMyGod) rear wheels. When the front tyres are shot, the front Ronals will be following the rear Ronals...

Hi all Sorry if this is an old question but I haven't managed to find a similar post. I am looking at late 202, early 203 and 210's at the moment. These are clearly from the worst era for MB rust but is there any patten for different colours resisting corrosion more than others?
