Mine has had a new spring, oil cooler pipework replaced this year at around £300 for both bits, never mid servicing and other stuff, but I think that's cheap motoring?
Its still FAR FAR less than buying a brand new car and driving out of the garage as what you will lose.

Did you have the ATF changed? Mine made a huge difference when it had that. Gear change much smoother.
I wasn't meant to be funny just running cost obviously cost a bit on a merc.
It's an e280 56 plate, yes it's wear and tear but it's leaving a nasty dint in my pocket) plus side is the front end is sorted for another 100k.
