Does it only idle roughly or also while driving? If only while idle, then it is most likely the motor mounts which i think are about $90 for the pair. You can pick up the transmission fluid and filter at the dealer, just tell them which car you drive. For the heat/ac, does it always not work? i have a similar problem which it doesn't initiate when i push the button. Most of the time the ac doesn't work for me but works decently , not great... at higher speeds such at 45 and up. Same thing with heat. And do these cars have the pollen/charcoal filters or what not? because it has an odd smell when i turn on the heat. Good luck with your car and enjoy her!

StapleGun

We need more info, like mileage...how about previous service...does it have service records of any sort??? I have, as well as many others here, have many different sources for parts to share with you but give some more info regarding your vehicle...

Oh and make sure to get the correct type of spark plugs. They were i think the copper something.. Just do a search and I'll be sure you can find them.

hello guys, i also experienced the same problem with my AC. The ac sometimes works and sometimes doesnt work. THe problem with this is the motor/fan for the AC. You need to simply replace this with a new one and your AC and heater will be blowing just with the touch of your button. I had mine replaced recently and cost me about 2-300 dollars. I can refer you guys to a good MB mechanic (friend of mine) if you live around my area.

I'm changing my motor mounts tomorow what should I expect. Any help is good.

the right hand side needs to be totally removed along with the arm it mounts to. on my m104 motor i couldnt get the right side back on without removing the big aluminum arm. once the arm is removed you can bolt on the mount to the arm and just slap it back in there.

its easier to do this on a rack. i would bet its a biach to do it on jack stands and a jack.
