You will need to know what chassie number you have.
In the US it is $19.99 + $7 shipping charge.
This is for the Service Manual on CD that covers the complete car except for transmission rebuilding.

A cd manual is ok, but the best is the factory chassis manual. There are 3 books that you can look for, they are almost always on ebay.
In fact,i found all 3. These are the best any ammount of money can buy. You cant get this much detail on a CD.

W123 factory chassis manual Vol 1

W123 factory chassis manual Vol 2

and engine manual.

You can find one for the 616 only (what the 240 has) or one that covers most all of the 61x series.

I bought the CD manual set first. Later I bought the Paper Manuals.

The CD manuals has the same information at less cost. In fact last year a complete set of the paper manuals that had the info that is in the CD manuals sold for $360.

What I did is bought the CD Manual set and used the money I saved on repairs to bid on the Paper Manuals and get them when I could get a good price on them.

The criticism of the CD manuals is that the pictures are not as clear and the info takes more time to find.
Both problems are solved by reading your CD manual a head of time to find out what areas the information is in and take the time to read and understand the written text.
