Spare parts

The diff plugs you would never loose... Just don't change the diff oil by a sewer and drop the plug (rember remove the fill plug first)

I didn't mean that the diff plugs might fall out. I've been reading some threads and see how difficult they could be to remove. Just thinking that I might misplace one (or drop it down a sewer---yikes!!!) or maybe even mangle one getting it out. Too familiar with that Irishman Murph. Besides, if it's rusted or corroded I'll feel good just replacing it. Like maybe the car knows. Or maybe on that day of final accounting St Peter will look in his book and say "You put those rusted diff plugs in a MERCEDES!" (Sorry about that, I've been reading the thread on how people miss their Mercedes and I'm not thinking straight).
I always get a good feeling when I discover some thoughtful engineering like the built in fuel primer pump or the built in first aid kit. Or free roadside assistance for every owner of a Mercedes. You mean customer convenience and safety are actually more important than the bottom line??? Building a product you can be proud of is more important than the bottom line??? Wow, wonder if its still true today.
