    W107 Subframe Recall

    Does everyone with a 107 know about this recall, or did the recall and free fix only happen in the USA? Some comments state it only applied to the 450SL. http://northernresource.com/mercedes/107-subframe-recall.htm

    Last rites for a fuel pump

    This was on the USA forum "mercedes-bounces@mercedeslist.com", and it seems worth passing on to 116 & 107 enthusiasts as a last resort for reviving a fuel pump. You might try a trick that George Murphy once offered. Remove the pump from the car and attach a piece of hose to the pump outlet...

    Valve Grind & De-coke on 6.9

    A much bigger job on a 6.9 than I realised - and I am staggered at the time you needed to get each head off, a big difference!. If you need another pair of hands to help speed up the job give me a call.

    New-old-stock 107 mats

    If the colour is right this looks to be a possibility for someone with a 107 needing the correct mats. The seller claims these to be original equipment, but I have no idea if it is correct or how his price compares to other suppliers /sources...

    Vapor lock with 107's

    I thought that this comment on the USA Mercedes List was worth passing on. The fuel header pressure on the old D-Jetronic engines used on early 70's MBs, Porsches, Volvos, VWs etc is about 28 psig. Hard starting when hot and left to stand for say 1/2 hr or so is a common problem. If car is left...

    I think that they are asking a bit much for this seeing it needs a complete rebuild, but I shall leave the experts to judge this. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MERCEDES-6-9LITRE-V8-ENGINE_W0QQitemZ200204397705QQihZ010QQcategoryZ6763QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem .
