My 2 cents.

Fuel filters, main and in line. Look for algae evidence. ( black colored fuel)
Fuel lines, look for leaks/cracks/damage and replace
Valve adjustment. Check timing chain stretch while there.
Diesel purge/ injector cleaner ( Techron).
Oil/filter change.
Air filter change, if necessary. (check air filter mounts)
Replace the following filters, Power steering. (change the fluid initially to the same fluid. Going from ATF to power steering fluid ( or vis a versa) may produce leaks in the system). SLS suspension filter in the reservoir tank (TD only).
Tranny fluid/filter change.
Check Air Conditioner charge.
Check charging system.
Vacuum line connectors and condition. Replace connectors if old/cracked.
Antifreeze, Change to Mercedes.
Engine/ Tranny mounts and shocks. Check condition.
Check front and rear suspension condition.
Entire vacuum system check. Engine/door locks/Air Conditioning system
Wash and wax the girl.
Enjoy

Dave
