I have a 2001 E class MB and in the N Va area I relied upon local mechnics to fix things and change the oil rather than going to the MB dealer. Not withstanding the fact that there is no near-by MB dealer, have you found a mechnic experienced in working with european cars with access to parts. I am surprised that a NAPA dealer even had the oil filter for your CD Class. A brake job on a MB or a BMW is alot different than most american cars.
If you or anyone has a good mechanic familiar or better yet trained to work on european cars, please let us know!!

BTW I had an '82 240D and finally sold it with 267,000 miles. Best car I ever owned even had the original clutch in it!
