Great post describing same parts . I'm wondering if the following parts are shared with other models:
1- V-Belt
2- wheel bearing.
3- Suspension.

I recently have the "Service brake" failure on my HUD and am thinking of flushing the brake fluid and replacing the pads. I was quoted 1.04k for the original pads - now I'm going to get it replaced with Waja parts .

My steering rack failed 3 years ago - luckily I had C&C plead my case to MB and got it replaced for free.

Best is to shutdown/start engine a few times. You may notice the following:

1- Electric Power Steering not functioning (i.e. steering very heavy). I am lucky I got it replaced FOC.
2- Sometimes cannot engage Reverse (panel shows "O"). I've been getting this off and on (once a month). So far still can live with it, but it will die sooner or later....

Oh, and thanks for your help on the brake pads abcb . I got mine replaced with Waja brake pads and brake fluid change for RM316. And yes, it hasn't been changed for 5 years (worn out)....
