VIN Decoding - Post VIN for production info

Keep in mind a lot can happen to a car in 15-20 years time and 100k+ miles - what is on it now may not have been on it to start, and vice-versa. Unless you bought the car new, there is usually no way to be sure what the PO has done to it...

Yea, but REMOVE the LSD and put in an OPEN diff? I guess if he/she was a cheapskate.

Lock your car from the outside using the key from the driver's side with the windows rolled down - turning the key from vertical to horizontal. Reach inside and try to open the door with the inside handle. It shouldn't open if you have central locking and it is working right...

350 WAERMESCHUTZGLAS GRUEN, RUNDUM = directly translates to: "Warmth protection glass of GREEN, ALL AROUND" - maybe heated mirrors?
