Before I bought my SD I did alot of reading. Like what were major/ common problems, how easy/ expensive were they to fix, etc. I spent a lot of time on this forum and other 126 forums reading. I bought the CD's from MBUSA. Since I bought my car I took it to an indie off jump street to adjust valves etc because I didn't have the tools. I also took it to a friends shop that fixed the AC because I didn't have the tools. Other than that I have done all the work myself. I rebuilt my entire suspension front and rear. Yes it was a PITA, yes it took several nights and weekends, yes the wife was pissed cause I was under that damn car for hours again

, yes I borrowed the proper spring compesser so I could live and talk about it, And I am proud of all the work I have done on this car. Oh yea I don't have a garage, I have become more of a floodlight machanic. I guess what I'm saying is you bought it, fix it or pay some one else to fix it, it sure won't fix itself. Ask questions- get answers- go do it. Now if I just had another couple grand for more parts, paint etc...........
