Hi Felix,
If you don't have service history, I'd check/replace the following:
Engine oil and filter (use flushing oil first if old oil is really thick and black, then add decent oil)
Transmission oil and filter (again, if trans fluid is anything other than red, change the oil a few times until it comes out red)
Fan belt
Idler and tensioner
Spark plugs
Thermostat and change coolent - Mercedes Antifreeze is highly recommended.
Fuel filter
Personally I like to change out all the fluids, so I know where I am if I don't have history, so power steering fluid and brake fluid should also be changed.
All these jobs are easy DIY although the thermostat is rather fiddly and the fuel filter is not complicated but the nuts often seize on the filter after 10 years/100K miles so you might want to leave that to a shop (as well as the unpleasentness of smelling like petrol for the rest of the day when it runs up your arm..)
I hope this helps
Andy (West London)
