W245 - I can hear it rusting

[danclyon]

So the wifes W245 has rusty rear arches *again* and while MB are doing a dance, I'm expecting they are going to just laugh at me when it comes to sorting it out.

Yesterday, also found that the boot-floor-pan with the spare wheel in was like a swimming pool. The reason - water is coming in from through the floor owing to a stupidly placed bung that is under a screw-down panel at the very back of the pan which appears to have been pushed out by rust coming through from the underside of the car.

While I expect MB will sherk that responsibility too - it's time to think about fixing these issues, and probably getting the whole thing re-sprayed.

I had a great experience with Brian Shilton at Epping, but they are a bit far away in reality, so wondered if anyone had a good recommended bodyshop in Cambridge area that I could/should approach.

I seem to recall someone on here that moved from Market Deeping to somewhere in Essex that helped me out a while ago, but I haven't seen a post from them in a while so tips/pointers apprecaited folks!

Best,
Dan.

Yeah the work was first-rate, but there's a lot to do.

Perhaps I'll give them a call and go that way to work one day and see what they think...

Cheers,
Dan.
