The old 190 has been in at the garage for a couple of patches to the sills. It had four holes all of about an inch in diameter. One at the front and rear of each sill. The mot man failed it because the rear ones are within 30cm of a suspension area. Ive had the rear ones sorted now but it seemed strange to me that there were these holes on the exact same position on both sides of the car and they looked too big to have developed in just a year. Also the rest of the car is solid :dk:

Does anyone know if these were perhaps original holes that have perhaps become a bit crusty over the years or if its just a common problem with the 190?

I poured some water down the sunroof drains but it didnt come out of the holes so that ruled that out. I just dont want to get them welded up then find out there is meant to be some kind of drainage hole there!
