E200 estate (w210) brake info

[Big-Ernie]

Hi Guys,
I've just purchased an E200 Estate (w210) and it needs new pads all round - I'm looking for any hints / tips from you guys, that are going to make life easier for me (considering I'm in England and will no doubt get wet, as I'll have to do it outside as the garage filled up with junk!) .... I've not even had the wheels off yet and am DIY'ing as the prices the they charge over here are getting well high - I have done brakes in the past, so not a total novice - Also, the park brake needs adjusting (or new shoes) - so any info on adjusting these would be good too .....

Thanks folks !

W210 brakes pads should be pretty easy if you've done brakes before.

You'll want 3 new brake sensors (2 fronts and 1 rear).

Cant help with the parking brake.
