Hi All,
I’m going to buy something a little sporty. Not fond of soft-tops, I’m going to look for a Lexus 430sc, or, staying in-house, an SLC.
I’ve been browsing and the very big issue on the SLC (all 107’s) seems to be sub-frame failure.
In the US forums they refer to an MB recall with Merc accepting there’s a serious weakness, certainly on the heavy block engines, later proved to be the same with alloy.
I can't find any info on here about the problem.
Would anyone know if this has been dealt with by MB Europe in the same way?
Cheers,
Paul
