I've got a spot on the inside of my boot lid - been there since I've had the car and it's no bigger than when I first saw it. Mark |

[quote]I've got a spot on the inside of my boot lid [/quote] Thought we was talking about rust not Acne Mark lol My door sides have rust spots on too, bloody pain, previous owner must have whacked em on a wall or something, though it hasnt increased much either. You can buy rust treatment stuff and paint it on, dont know if it works but is supposed to cure mild rust. Sorry dont know the name of it. |

Is this true?? Now don't laugh if it's not. But someone told me the other week that metallic painted cars dont rust unless they get scratched or there is an opening for air or water to get under the paintwork? Any ideas lads??? |

Not sure about the 10 year rust thing, but i'm sure the 323 is not a regular rudt bucket as in all the ones i've seen haven't got any on them and the ones I went to see before I bought mine |

My 323F had a rust warranty - something like 10 years, but you had to have it inspected at every service. Mark |

Thats a sweet catch by Mazda. The amount it would've cost in Mazda services you could just save your money and get a full respray by now, it's that bloody expensive at a Mazda garage. Thats only if you owned the car from brand new though. |

i noticed this morning when i was lovingly polishing my new pride and joy, that there is (well noticed most of it before) a few stone chips on the bonnet and they have gone rustly, some absolute jealous t--t has keyed it all along the bonnet n/s and the n/s passanger door, and that hasnt gone rusty yet? does anyone know any cheap fairly decent sprayers in lancashire??? cheers jamie |

the key scratch?? How heavy is the scratch...If its light, you can probably polish it out with T-cut.. |

Wouldn't use those lot they leave like an orange peel effect on the paint, although they do the odd job i've seen to a good standard but don't really trust them. Got tints done from a guy near my end paid £100 but he usally charges £110 only got it that price cuz I sent my mate that knows him otherwise he dont budge his price cuz he knows he's cheap. Mine are legal all the way round I asked for smoke tints. |
