Hi

After finally getting the WIS to work, I now know what I need to do, I just don't know how difficult the job will be or if I should rather trust it to professionals.

I have recently aquired a W126 420 SE, an import from Hong Kong. Generally in good nick, 190k on the clock.

I took it to my local stealership for a service and check over. The service was OK (a bit xe, 1000 Australian sheckels) and they gave it a good bill of health, said it had been maintained well, however needs a few 'minor' things.

Power steering oil leak - needs new seals.
Front lower control arm bushes split.
Caster bushes for wheels.
Engin mounts (due to Power steering fluid leak).
A/C drain hose - passenger side (L over here).
Steering damper.
L/H ball joint - boot.

Can anyone tell me which are easy to do, also which I should do in order of priority?

Many years ago I used to have a 220SEb - 1962 finnie, which I did a lot of work on, before it met an ugly demise (but thats another story), so I am able to do some mechanical things, However I have become much older and less tolerant.

On another note, my outside temp gauge statd reading 10 c higher than outside after the service and now 10 days later has gone up by another 10 c (is this an omen???) I guess it will reach the max and stop working. Anyone know why this is happening?

Cheers
