     This made me smile. How many "naturals" can fix a WR/WX 3K cut-out? 
     Okay, you may need to refer to a manual but at least the MB gives 
     fault codes. 
     
     Apart from the ABS, digital dash (unlucky), Fault Reporting ECU and 
     some extra hot water plumbing, what makes them that different? 
     
     You should take a look at NA emmissions "stuff" and be thankful.
     
     Happy New Year, regards, Mike
