Still got the Merc but it's getting on a bit now as I've had it for 5 years or more now. Rear discs & pads, couple of shocks and two little nylon bushes that require the front suspension to be stripped completely. Might be a gearbox leak and a couple of other things.
It's been a long time coming and 12000 overdue for the service as my money always seems to drop when I'm about to start work
Love it though so it's worth the expense considering it's used like a van most of the time. 140mph van at that
