I am pleased but more importantly it should hopefully mean MB can't get out of replacing other peoples rotted subframes. I have only just bought the car so I have not had it from new, and it is 10 years old, so I think MB might be managing a problem that they would rather keep out of the...

Well just to update you all, MB have replaced the rear subframe FOC under warranty so very pleased about that. Would have been a very expensive job ( and a shock) at MOT time.

I think if you have regularly wax oyling the subframe you should be ok. Do you live nr the coast?
