Have a Merc auto shop check your ABS. If you are a dodgy driver you will need your ABS system or youcould skid ut and kill an innocent puppy. How would you live with your self then? hmmm? HMMMMM?

Fan helps car stay cool keep an eye on temperature fan would only comes on when temp goes over the half of the limits it normally in hot conditions or use car with Aircon on all the time.

It's normal for the alarm to go off if it was set with the key fob and then unlocked with the metal key. The manual should explain this.

Water temp sensor grounded. Replace sensor or check wiring for condition.

There is a good video on U-Tube to illustrate this process. It's difficult to explain unless you can see the job being done. You have to place the vent fully up to release the bottom clips and fully down to release the top clips.

I would say the best thing to do here is to contact a Mercedes Independent dealer, and show them your list of fault codes. A wiring diagram with the electrical connector numbers is required, and there are not many of them around for Mr. DIY. R12/6, R12/7, n2/7-15r/15 should be identified on the diagram as either wires or connectors. I had a similar readout on my 2001 C240, when oil from the rear crankshaft oil seal was seeping out of the gearbox bottom drain, and saturating the area where the main electrical connection entered the gearbox. something like that may be the problem.

radio, as radio lights? the light switch could be bad

I am not familiar with the model. Replacing pairs or sets has always been best practice even though the kerb side suspension tends to suffer a great deal more wear and tear and a greater likelihood of damage. I imagine there is a device to monitor the suspension height that is either faulty or maladjusted. As it is a late model Mercedes I expect it is a fully computerised car and it is probable a clever fellow with a laptop and the right software would be needed to reset the default values after a repair and possibly even tell the system it has been repaired...

Yes, your problem is that Mercedes often offers different radio options for different countries? That yours is a 2006 makes things even tougher! Best to pull the radio and hunt for 'tags', model numbers ~ anything that will help ID your specific radio? Then to find schematics and then hopefully odd parts? After all, it is a 12 year old radio and soon 13... Perhaps the better choice is a new 'modern' radio with lots more features and this is especially true since you have to pull the radio anyway.
