water leak

I have a 2006 SL350 and have had water ingress into mainly the passenger (left) side rear foot well. Opening the roof half way I used an airline to blow out the drains from the gulley near the c-pillar. On one side there is a metal plate with a self tapping screw fixing it in place. The end of...

Hi, I'm the proud owner of my first Merc - 2008 B 200 CD1 , my first automatic. Brilliant car. Just one small fault, when I checked the spare wheel well it contained at least a gallon of (clean) water sloshing about. I took liner out, dried it. Left it uncovered for about 10 days. Car left...

Hoping someone can help me with this. I bought a 1985 280sl earlier in the year and have unfortunately discovered rust in the plenum chamber/bulkhead. Looking through previous posts on this site I see that it's a recurring problem on the cars, and one I should have been on the look out for...
