Perhaps I should add, too, that I replaced the wipers. One was about to start scratching the windshield. No joke, however absurd it all may sound.
As for the question of what was in it for me, simply this: I didn't want to let a friend of the wife die from total brake and/or engine failure on a highway on the way to Florida. What was I supposed to do? Plus, I'd never worked on a Mercedes before. And I did get reimbursed eventually for everything I bought.
Anyway, I'm glad you all were entertained by this.
