Smoke, smoke, and more smoke. When I gave up, I took it to my MB-only indy mechanic. When he gave up after a month, it was time for the car to go. I believe it now resides in Florida.

These cars may be safe and engineered well, but I haven't had 1/20th the problems with my '79 Chevy PU as I've had with any MB I've owned.
I'm still hooked, though.....
