Do you have the owners manual for the car?
If not, get the Haynes Mercedes-Benz DIESEL 123 Series 1976-1985
(check eBay)

Do this now... Change the oil and oil filter
Do this now... Change the Air Filter

Check the transmission fluid level... if necessary, top off
Check the brake fluid level... if necessary, top off
Check the Self-Leveling-System (SLS) fluid level... if necessary, top off
(checkout Fastlane for parts and fluids on this site)
Check the power steering fluid level... if necessary, top off

Be aware that there are two fuel filters... a primary and a secondary
(there is also a tank screen in the fuel tank)

Follow blindwolf's advice

Regards,

dennis
