Aha! Nice - I will just do that. I (just today) found a shop that specializes in OEM mercedes parts, so getting the right realy should prove to be totally trivial.

Also: I think I have a bad wheel bearing on my driver's side rear - I can hear an intermittent (but common) squeak that seems to originate there that is related to the speed I am driving. It's all I can think of, anyway. It has no relation to braking or not, so, yeah.

Also - wow do I love driving this car. I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere with it, but the torque is effortless and I feel stylish everywhere I go!
