Midget, the ones from the top of my head are
a: injector seals going faulty causing poor running and hard starting
b:rattly timing chains that never seem to last as long as other Mercs
c:rear self levelling shockers going bad and costing a fortune to replace.
Two brothers that worked for Merc in years gone past have a 2.5-16 Evo and a "P" reg Evo2 (it was stored unregistered for a few years), and they are just beautiful.
One of the boys at the Merc garage in Ayr has one for sale I think (a 2.3-16), but it may need some work. I could ask about it for you if you want.
