Greetings to everyone using this wonderful forum. We are the proud owners of a 1999 C-230 K that is new to us and have already begin to appreciate all the tips and pointers that are routinely part of the W202 forum, even before this newbie thread. My first order of business is to get better at searching the forums by topics in order to get to the topic 'of the day'. Thanks to those who have already posted back to some of my questions.
