So, this is it......
So work list and any suggestions welcomed from the forum afficianados!
1. Investigate windows/mirrors, is it merely a fuse, relay or? - Good place to start
2. Replace front discs and pads.
3. Dampness cause, heater matrix or windscreen seal, blocked drain?
4. Obtain 2nd key, only MD or can I re-programme a 2ndhand key? - RMK or Mercedes only. Second hand keys are junk.
5. Pondering whether or not to do too much to fettle rusty edges, forums thoughts? - If you don't it'll spread.
6. Obtain original radio/cassette or go with a modern/CD/auxiliary input type replacement? - Personal choice with respect to trade on if originality vs features. Continental do some interesting modern featured retro styled radios to preserve both.
7. Investigate front rattle, lower ball joints, bushes or tie rods? - Drop links would be a good place to look. Also ball joints.
8. Replace tired rear No plate!! - Personal choice but I like the pressed metal ones.
All thoughts, suggestion and help greatly appreciated more pics to follow.
