on the AC, I think that if the condenser goes, and you can't do it yourself, it's a very very expensive job. benzworld.org is a great forum.
This sound advice, but I will add that a lot of the claimed to be OEM branded parts are not the quality that they were even 2 years ago. Names like Lemforter, Corteco, Bosch and other formerly trusted names are now made in China and are barely better than Meyle, which is generally absolute crap. In many cases, such as some motor mounts I just needed, the dealer part is the only decent part. Uro is a low-bid chinese part, brake rotors that cost ~$100 each from the dealer might be $12 from Uro. So that should tell you something.
