WTF?

I'm assuming you need advice? I'm moving this to the Merc forum.

I've edited the chaps email out for you :s

Crankshaft sensor sounds reasonable, a bad connection is more likely than a faulty sensor I'd say. For the other things, thats how mercs are built these days.

Seconded with the crank sensor.

I think one of the parking sensors has been replaced and the paint on it is too thick, giving false readings.

There is a way to reset the windows, but with the self closing playing up it sounds like the door wiring loom has stretched over time. This was a problem with early ones - if you can imagine the sheer weight of the massive door being thrown open the strain on a tight loom can cause problems.
