Just Purchase E420, Need Help on Mechanics Report

Just purchased a 1994 E420 with 126,000 miles. The owner had replaced the Wiring Harness and a few other details but the shop inspection did discover a few issues. I've helped my Brother a bit with his Rover but otherwise I have no DIY experience. Still I wouldn't mind learning, of the following issues what are plausible?

These are the issues as noted on the inspection report.



Heater AC Operation - Runs Strong. Push button operation doesn't work. Vent Switch defrost to floor etc (525 P/l)

Brake Fluid - Needs to be flushed (100 P/L)

Engine - Right bank starting to leak (225 P/L)

Cooling System - Cooling System not reaching operating temp soon enough (300 P/L)

Drive Axels - Minor leak in rear differential/axle seal (550 P/L)

Mufflers - Leak at rear muffler will need replacing for emissions (575 P/L)

Tie Rods - Drag link looks new not tie rods. (Tie Rods + Alignment 450 P/l)

Shocks/Struts - Rear shock bumps tops deteriorating.

Wheel Bearings - Needs Adjustment (Wheel bearings adjustment + repair 425 P/L)


So what of the above do you think a first timer could manage?
