I've been a somewhat busy boy in the last week or thereabouts. I've completed the following tasks:

1) Resealed the breather-covers and installed all new breather hoses (rubber doesn't last forever; especially inside the engine-bay!). The 'MercedesSource' guy says when a Merc hits 25 years old the failure of every rubber component is imminent.
2) Installed AKEBONO front brake pads and cleaned & lubed the sliding bits.
3) Changed the motor oil.
4) Did a 100% brake-fluid flush and bled the brakes.

Will document with pictures on the thread below once I go through the photos and select ones that aren't blurry!!! Unlike a paid mechanic, when I take anything apart I clean & service/detail every component I put back on.
