Dicky68 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Picking up my S Max in a week or so and was wondering if owners can advise where the most likely rust spots may occur so I can take precautions plus any other experience based learnings that might help a poor newbie Thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markanthony Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I wouldn't worry, I have an 06 s max with no rust at all & I don't recall seeing rust on any other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky68 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's encouraging! I ask because when I bought my 350Z back in 2004 I wasn't aware then that the rear wheel arches are prone to rust due to the construction technique of spot welding the inner and outer wheel arches leaving the odd gap here and there. Had I known I could have taken some precautionary measure to save the £800 I've just paid to have it cut out. I'm just after any learnings anyone might have after owning the car for some years. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 rear exhaust hanger tends to rust through,resulting in needing at least a new rear box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
