driving cold also the passenger windows dont come down on the electric
windows and the passenger side only blows cold air whereas the drivers
is lovely and warm and ive never "converted" the car to unleaded

That's the cold start circuit that needs attention. Sadly I
know nothing about it. On older injected cars there's a cold
start valve, but you should also check the injection
rack for freedom of movement.

Usually the switch. Pry it out, disassemble, clean the black gunk off
it then pur it back.

>windows and the passenger side only blows cold air whereas the drivers

There are vacuum operated flaps and what usually happens is the
diaphragm of the actuated that opens and closes the flaps
wears out, you probably need a new actuatpr.

No Mercedes needs leaded gas, but they do need 97 RON petrol.
