The Best shop manuals?
I was searching on line for a good shop manual for my 91 350sdl and I really like the Haynes manual I have for my 82 300d turbo. However I can't find anything from Haynes for this particular car. I see that someone on this forum offers a CD ROM. Tempting but I would prefer a manual. What do you believe are the best shop manuals, and does anyone know of a good one for the 350 sdl? I like pictures Buy the way, diesel 4.49 in Easton Washington. Kind of a one horse town where they must figure they have you cornered, embarrassingly I bought 5 gallons before I caught their thievery.

RJay,
Unfortunately Haynes never made a manual for the 126. I have a 300SDL and use the factory service manual. It is a bit of a pain but well worth the effort when you have to do work. The dealership should sell them for around $100 bucks (ouch!) but they are on ebay all the time for less than $20 (burned copies, some better than others). If a member here sells them I would say go for it and support the forum. The only thing I do not like with the factory CD's is the interface. It takes a long time to load and it wants you to use an old version of Adobe and I.E. (no support for other browsers that I've found). To solve the problems (annoyances) I copied the cd contents to a folder on my hard drive and when I need to use a file I open up the folder and navigate to the section page (bypassing the start-up page and the model selection page). I've found this much easier and less hassle plus I can use I.E. 7 and the latest release of adobe. Hope this helps, Matt
