Just had the 60k major service (£200...very good!) and a long vehicle inspection (£50) at main dealer.
I'd be grateful if an SL guru had a chance to look through the list below and point out any horrors. Not asking for you to contradict the dealer but nice for my background knowledge to know about common items & lurking bills.
Dealer said all leaks & cracks were minor and car was roadworthy. He thinks £1200 to cure all, which I'll probably say yes to (resale will jump):
front pads worn
engine mounts weak
single v-belt crack
rear wheel carrerbushing damage
front shock mount cracked
steering knuckle ball joint damaged
steering box leaking
oil pan gasket leaking (lower)
oil level sender unit leaking
at lockout staich leaking
r/sengine hose leaking
air filter dirty (haha)
front crankshaft seal leaking
rest is minor cosmetic. Impressed by the dealer & this Merc 'keeping old cars on road' policy...good buisness
Christ, SLs have a LOT of parts......
