Just a quick point of clarification...build dates, model years, and the
calendar are not relevant. In a given year, European manufacturers
generally shut the factory down for several weeks during the summer for a
model year changeover. They prepare to build the next model year vehicles,
and once the  factory starts up, the model year is then ahead of the
calendar year for a number of months.

So your 100S is almost in the middle of the model year run.
