Lots of info here, I'm sure it will be a challenge to comprehend all. I bought a 2000 s430, not sure how to determine which W model it is. Then I can start reading about something I will be able to use.
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome!

The forums are categorized by chassis and year. Take a look at the W140 and W220 as start. Have fun!
