Lee:

Thanks for the info. I got the same from the technical person at the Mercedes Benz NA customer assistance (who, buy the way, is generally full of useful info -- provided you can get a hold of him). He couldn't tell me, though, the "level" of limited slip, i.e., 25%, 50%, etc. Maybe I will be able to figure that out once I get technical manuals from Mercedes Benz.

PS what is this parts operation to which you allude? how will it work? what types of parts will be available? will there be a complete catalogue on-line? when do you expect it to be operational?
