David French
a definitive guide? It's the early (pre-2001) ones I'm looking at.
Thanks,
David.

You star! Thanks. SLS - is this the rear air suspension thing?
Do ACE and the air suspension go hand in hand? I take it ACE works by using
air springs?
I'm looking to steer clear of air susp if possible, but I do want a 7
seater...

SLS is self levelling suspension, which acts on the rear suspension only.
ACE is basically an active anti-roll bar on the axles, it uses a hydraulic
ram to counteract the body swaying, instead of using a torsion bar like a
normal anti-roll bar.
ACE is (or was) available without SLS, and vice versa. The two systems are
separate, technically speaking.
If you want a seven seater, but without the SLS, you'd probably have to go
for a 5 seater S or GS without SLS, which has then had the rear seats
retrofitted. However, I believe that the SLS was required on the seven
seaters for type approval or something, so a coil-sprung 7 seater *may* be
on dodgy ground with insurance, etc. Just to warn you!
Good luck in your search, give me a shout if you need any other info! :o)

Great - thanks. All becoming clear.
Having seen an ES today, I decided it would be a good idea to cut down on
things like ACE and SLS to keep it simple. But it looks like I won't have
much of a choice with the SLS. Shame... (unless I go for a 300Tdi).
Bummer to have missed a good XS locally for a fine price, so I'll have to
keep looking.
