None of your W126 M103 service manual pages are found. I thought you might like to know.

I wish I could take credit for the online manual. I just have a link in my sig to help forum members.

EDIT: I've changed my sig to show this.

No, Its a 300D, but like SKIPPY said"An '85 N/A manual would be a Euro-spec car. Some of them did get imported into the U.S., as I would imagine a few U.S.-spec cars may have ended up in Europe." It is a Euro spec car.
