Sorry I do not have a time schedule and one of the engineers will answer that batter than me, they are something that hardly ever give any problems these days.

Re your B service the work done is all laid out in the service book

Almost impossible to price the service as it depends on what is required which varies wildly. Sometimes they just turn the air filter around, other times, new air filter, new brake fluid, gearbox filters etc.
The B starts at around £450 from the dealer, though with 'older car discounts, that should come down to around £320.
I have an invoice in front of me from my indie for a B on my 2004 E270 carried out 18 months ago.

The B service was £210+vat, but with VAT and a set of front pads, the total bill was £386.

They won't really tell you,just say bring it in and we'll have to plug into computer to find out,you can find out roughly what needs doing yourself using steering wheel control buttons.Have normal set up on dash(temp/speed showing)hold re-set button in for few second's and the service codes should show up,you can go thr'o these using buttons on s/wheel,write codes down then look in service book to see what they mean.I n fact look in service/handbook first and it will tell you how to do this(in case i'm wrong)service B will probably change to D,all mine have?8)
