Simple problem, that never had before. I live less than 200 yards from the breaking waves, on the seafront.
My disks will rust almost overnight, depending on weather, wind direction etc. Never had this problem before, as never been this close. I now lay awake at night, hearing the waves, and worrying.
I have been here for over 2 years, and replacing disks and pads on the other cars every time an MOT comes up seems to become the norm, but the Merc is going to be a lot dearer.
I work 1.3 miles away so using it for work is not going to be good either?
I have looked into perhaps driving it 10 miles, in a loop, to get just round the corner, but the traffic is so bad, I risk being late, and everybody knows I am within walking/cycling distance.
Suggestions please as to whether, if I leave it parked in the week, and cycle etc, is there something I can spray the disks with to stop the rust building up so quick?
Would a cover work?
I have a crappy old car I could get back on road, for those rainy days, so could still get to work dry.
I would happily drive the CLK every weekend as I love it, and look for excuses to use it, but feel the work journey will not be good for it.....
Suggestions (preferably from somebody with similar issues welcomed) but any others/experiences will be open, however bizarre.
