Yes, well described. I find it interesting that you have a 99 E300; is it a turbodiesel, and is it a Canadian car or imported from the US? I really wonder why MB (and RIV) is adamant about the 99 E300 turbodiesel not being admissible to Canada. I have been trying to get one in from the US for a year now!

My gut feeling is that they are somehow trying to protect their territory and not letting individuals save thousands of $$ by importing their own from the US. My guess is that the US and CDN cars are the same (save perhaps California).
