wet

Hi All Earlier this year I joined the wet handling event run by the Alpina Register at Rockingham. Pics here: http://www.thealpinaregister.com/rockingham2009.php Fantastic fun was had by all as well as some real improvements to driving skills - certainly helped a lot at a wet maserati forum...

Hi Folks, Have recently had the anti roll links and various bushes replaced on the front of my w203 and have noticed that in the wet the car does not hold corners well at anything over 30 mph - very noticable on roundabouts. I had previously noticed this before the work but don't remember it...

my dad fully restored his golf a while ago and had a full respray done. so hes just got round to wet flatting it back. and now my go cutting back cg diamond cut 2000, then some pb ssr2. started of with the dull flat surface then went over twice which was shiny but left lot of marks still. so...

Just a short funny... this morning, I decided to ride the bike in to work... I filled up on my way to work... and obviously forgot to close the fuel cap properly... On my way home, taking advantage of the sun, I decided to ride a bit more... enthusiatically... In response, the fuel cap...

Title says it all really. the seat belt is wet (it rained heavily yesterday for most of the day). I have had the B pillar trim off but can see no evidence of water ingress downwards - car has sunroof so the obvious suspect was above. all the old dust and hair that catches in these nocks was dry...

Hi Guys i have noticed a wet patch in the boot of my 96 W202? I have traced the leak and it seems to be coming in from the top left hand corner, there are numeroue holes in the metal lining and it drips in from there just below where the seal is. i dont think its the seal as i removed...

:eek: Went into the boot this morning and it's wet....god damn it.. Is there a standard place where an 89 300CE will leak from? The boot rubbers seem fine. The back window is delaminated slightly and one of the rear headrests is looking rust which would lead me to think it's coming from...

I was having clean of the carpets on my 230k today and noticed some oil at the front of the footwell passenger side. The underfelt was soaked in it. It seems to be either ATF or brake fluid... as I don't have a gearbox dipstick (whats that about then?).. I can't see if I've lost any. I did...

I've just picked up a bargain runaround and the velour seats need a good clean. I've never been convinced of the various spray on liquids etc as the dirt has to go somewhere and rubbing it further into the seats goes against anything a professional carpet cleaner would advise! Therefore...

Since it was the first half decent day we have had when i've been off i thought i'd treat the car to a wash and hoover. Discovered a couple of things that have turned a decent weekend into a nightmare! 1) Paintwork - Someone has caught the drivers door on the bump strips, hopefully it will...

Hi All, I have bought a 93 C180. The windows in side are constantly wet all round, it smells dank and moldy. There are no leaks on doors or boot so I guess it is a blocked drain on aircon or heater box. The old owner said he used to get wet feet sometimes going around corners, he thought a drain...

....you leave Leeds in glorious sunshine so take the roof off? 10 miles on over come the clouds and down comes the sleet then snow - and nope - not a drop came in the cabin - result!! Made for a wonderful drive home after a morning in the office. I so love my car :D :D Anyone else been...

After some scroat entered my 2001 CLK through the roof and all the rain we had before the assessor came ( i did have it covered but rain water still got in) I think water got in to the gear select and now the digi display now doesnt show a gear only a full block of pixels and when i drive it, it...

I noticed tonight that the n/s front and rear passenger footwells are incredibly wet in the whole footwell :eek: The water is definately coming from underneath. The o/s foot wells are bone dry. All the n/s window seals have just been replaced, and the car was given a full waxoyl in October last...

Have been noticing a smell in the car for the past 3 days and put my hand under the floor mat in the passengers side and found the carpet sodding wet! Seems to be from the bottom as none of the carpet on the side is wet and under the passenger seat seems dry. Any ideas where it is from? Will be...

Ok gang ... Just been hoovering the boot and in the wells i discover it's damp in both wells :eek: Haul everything out and it's only the bottom piece of trim that is damp , not wet ... along with my A to Z and my oil wiping cloth....:rolleyes: Pull these up and there are two drain...

Recently bought a W210 E320CDI (now remapped) that has Continental Contact tyres with the snowflake symbol on the rear only. This is my first torquey diesel so it may just be my driving but I keep spinning a wheel (or 2) when starting off and had the back end step out a couple of times on wet...

Hi all, A few days ago I noticed a lot of water in the passenger side front footwell of my W208. Reading on here, I had a look at the front of the car near the Aircon box and unblocked the rubber hose (there was some mud in there from tornado in Brum recently) The dealership didnt bother...

Guys I have found that my rear floor pan is wet on my SL320 , more on the right that the left, what could cause this, my initial thoughts are that the roof is letting in water but also could be a seal that has gone somewhere.... any ideas where and what to look for??? Regards Raj

This is a big mystery. The power on my '98 SLK (170) was practically non-existent after about a 20 minute drive. It stalled a couple of times after re-starting, then I managed to limp home at about 20 mph to my nearest Mercedes specialist (Star Motor Services in Caversham, Reading) After a...
