Hi everybody,
I'm putting my repair to do list for my 1990 560SEC and 1990 190E into a
spreadsheet.  Yes, there is that much to do that I need to put it into a
spreadsheet.  I'm trying to get a feel for what a few of these repairs will
run me..the ones I have no idea what it will cost.  Maybe somebody can help.
560SEC
*repair sunroof.  I think a rail broke.  I heard a massive clunk.  It no
longer opens and sits crookedly in the roof
*AC.Last year my wife was driving the car on a trip and all of a sudden
smoke came pouring out the vents for a few minutes and the AC stopped
working.  A few years ago I was told that the seals on the compressor were
marginal and it could not be completely recharged.
*mono valve.  Is this the same as the ACC mono valve? I thought it was
mounted to the firewall but the drawing I saw on a website appeared to be
some form of inline valve.
*front shocks. I have no idea what the labor might be.
190E
*flex disc.  Not sure if the front or rear needs replacing.
*left window motor.
*front struts, rear shocks.  I have no idea what the labor runs.

I have a pretty good guess on the balance of the list...about 25 items in
total.  Most parts pricing exists on the web, labor is the big question.

Any help would be appreciated.  Just let me know if you are including parts
and labor or just labor.  Thanks
Tom
