wet

Hi All We've had 2 B classes in last week which had been driven through deep puddles and leaked water. (W245/W169, i.e. previous version) - One we know the kids had always encouraged the drive to drive through puddles for the big splash, and the left hand side was soaked through (taking out...

Occasional bits of standing water in places around the north of the M25 this evening. Light traffic. I thought I was doing a reasonable speed of 60mph, but still managed to aquaplane for a short distance... cue reduction of speed... (my tyres have 6mm+ tread) However, there were plenty of...

This has been driving me nuts for ages!! After rain the rear offside carpet is often drenched. I initially thought I had traced this to blocked windscreen drains, but after clearing them, the problem persisted. I since traced the leak to the rubber drain where the drivers side window and...

The carpet in the rear drivers side footwell is soaked. I quite certain that it isn't coming in through the roof or door seal as this is the only area that is wet. The car is normally parked on slight slope and when I moved it this morning and parked it on level ground, I noticed that there was...

Wife was driving home from work and I got a phone call to say the car (2001 S203 220CDI) was going crazy giving out fault codes and flashing lights like they were going out of fashion. After having a look around on here I worked out that the bulkhead drains were blocked (we had biblical rain the...

:wallbash: Does anyone else get annoyed!!! After I wash and dry my 2012 c class sport plus, I open the boot to dry around the edges etc, shut the boot and ½ a ton of water splashes all over the nice clean dry bumper, open the boot again to dry it and then shut the boot again and more water...

Hi all Any suggestions on the best product to use to make the tyres look wet and one that lasts! Thanks

Well at least the sun is promissed for ........ SUNday! :) I have had an SLK 230 for 6 years, bought it as a toy and ended up driving her solidly every day. She was dinged a couple of weeks ago (video below) and I have bought a newer SLK 320. 2LoGDrlIiGU Turns out the insurers will be...

Hi All Problem with a 2005 C220 cdi estate. Getting water in rear passenger footwell driver side only. Cannot find the leak. Anyone had the same problem and have a fix

Has anyone else noticed any oddities in the new tyre rating system? Below is an example of one tyre size and the 'same' Michelin Energy Saver tyre yet with different fuel efficiency and wet grip ratings. It's especially interesting to see how the last tyre is E rated for fuel efficiency but the...

Over the past few months my Comand system will suddenly mute for no apparent reason. This is coupled with a flash of the all the Parktronic lights on the top of the dashboard. If you leave it, the sound comes back after a few seconds or so (maybe 10-15 seconds). If you turn off the system, or...

The bottom of my w210's bellhousing has a wet/oily patch (oil not atf). Is this something to worry about or a case of they all do that? thanks

just got into the car, Quickly i might add as it is raining very hard, start the car and notice a drip of water hit me on the head. I look up to make sure the sunroof is not left open.... nope sunroof is shut. so im guessing its the sill. is there any quick fix? any advice would be great...

I know the above doesnt have any protecting properties its literally just something to make the car look mega slick.. I used to talk to a detailer quite a bit and into it myself and i always keep my car as clean/polished and well looked after as i can.. most weekends mind! he used a product for...

Went to a funeral on Friday. Had to park on a village green with loads of others. Very very wet and hey ho the merc struggled to keep going on a muddy slight incline . Interesting to watch a colleague's 3 series ,with winter tyres, just power out and away !

My windows are fine when dry but when its wet the windows make this horrible noise while moving up or down. Any idea how do I sort it?

This is the second time ive done this!! -.- After washing my car my passenger footwell is soaking wet! Ive had to remove the small front bit of carpet and dry it out - going to take ages. Is the water getting in just above the bonnet?.... i remember last time this happened i was cleaning...

Hello, first post so please be gentle :) I'm considering a C63 estate for my wife as an everyday family car. She drove one at a dealer yesterday and loved it, but is concerned about its practicality in the depths of winter in rural Bucks. It's obviously powerful and RWD and she doesn't want...
