I have decided to keep the ML270 and it needs some tlc.

Could you give me an idea what to expect to pay for the following

replace front ball joints
front and rear antiroll bar brushes
washer bottle
front and rear discs and pads need replacing.

This was one of the reasons to look around due to all the above needed to be done. Now keeping car so a rough idea of costs would be great

Many thanks

The ball joints are at least 2hours labour per side as they are very tight to get in and out.

The labour time for the front discs and pads ae about 1.3 hours.

The washer bottle will be about 0.5 hours (fiddly job)

Thats to far away 238 miles

I've just done the front ball joints as a DIY job I think they were £22.50 each approx

Front disc's where easy diy job to do I think they were under £25.00 each

front and rear anti roll bar brushes, £30.00 better get MB parts as I replaced with cheep stuff only lasted 2/3 months, rear are easy diy job
But front you might have trouble removing the pinch bolt that clamps the bush housing together as I sheared one of nine off and had to drill and re-tap replaced with stainless steel bolts

Excellent, many thanks for all your help.

I live 4 miles from Neath so Merc-wise Neath would be handy.
