Rust in rear wheel arches (Dirt is trapped in lip)
A fantastic car.
I got 30mpg on the motorway and about 27mpg on A-roads.
It really only needed routine maintainance and a few minor repairs.
Regret parting with it for a 1998 E240.
I have just bought a 109E230 to go with our 500SE. Found the comments interesting, but all the warnings about comments boring and too PC.
Very useful advice about rust in rear wheel arches because of trapped dirt. I have had new front wings on my 1992 W124 changed because of rust. Now will carefully put rust treatment on rear arches. Thanks for tip.
