Very cool. Thanks for the support, rowdie.

+1 what Dave said. I use Photobucket but there's also Flickr and probably lots more. Flickr was too picky about letting the images be seen by others for my taste.

BTW, from time to time, we'll probably weed some of the chat from threads like this due to their high public service value so don't be surprised if your post counts drop slightly and your bon mot has disappeared.

Look at me, I was at 40,000 posts and since I've been paring them back...

Thanks for the info. If I need help uploading to Photobucket I will certainly scream HELP!

As for removing the wheat from the chaff (chat). Makes perfect sense.

One question

What is the Offical Mercedes Benz recall statment for the 107 subframe?
years?
makes?
parts?
labor?

This provides a partial answer. Not the official recall but a good explanation and opinion that MB was wrong in limiting the recall. I think that is why others have fought and been successful. I can't on my 280 because it has a rebuilt-prior salvage title so all warranties are void. But I will have fun doing DIY.

Rowdie did you go to mercedes and have them reject you or are you making assumptions? My car is also a salvage and mercedes honored the recall so it might be a case by case.

I may try then. I rebuilt a Dodge truck and they told me the warranty was void. I did assume all manufac would be the same. Thanks Daryn

I went ARMED with print outs of the recall postings on here and waited to see what they say first then I said well take a look on here and see how many people are getting it done FOR FREE!

Course my car did not exist in the data base. So I am waiting to hear back from them after my car is Registered.

UPDATE:
As I type this they call and said they opened up a claim and results came in that my car was not on the campaign and not effected. I will double triple check with my mechanic.

I now have a VMI.

UPDATE:
Found a Bill for SUB FRAME MOUNTS installed in 1998 $600.41

OK I give p whats a VMI?

Vehicle Master Inquiry...tells all about your car... as regards service is which campaigns have been performed and which are pending. You'll get a list of installed options, too.
Normally they will not give it to you but maybe they will. On my other cars I had to send proof of Title (ownership) in order to get one mailed to me.

AKA Window Sticker.
