You're right on track with the fuel additives , be sure to keep a weather eye on the clear intake screen and clean it / change it as soon as it fills up with crud .
If the engine was covered in oily wet , the motor mounts will be soft but , it's far easier to change the tiny shock absorbers , they help a lot too .

Thanks, I forgot about the dealer plan. I had blocked that because of the problems cited for late model key replacement. I usually use a cocktail of Startron and a treatment with antigel etc additives from my local truck stop.

Do a Diesel Purge right after you've adjusted the valves and changed filters , _ALL_ of them .
Take the reggie to the dealer (or better , to Tom @ M-B Classic Center) and buy two new keys , they'll fit perfectly .
Then if you later decide you like the car , you can buy a new original ignition lock cylinder that matches the rest of the locks and install it .

Also the PO loaned the car to a friend who lost the key. Someone did a semi butcher job on the dash and installed a lock and replacement key. These obviously don't fit the doors and trunk. Any suggestions or does someone have a set of front door locks, a trunk lock and keys. If the vacuum system worked, I'd only need a driver's door lock and a trunk lock for safety. The car shuts off, but I don't know the condition of the rest of the vacuum system.--
