whunter,

ok, thanks for the clarification. time to buy some more stuff

bob

Ok, I went looking at the MB USA Classics section again, and noticed that the listings for the 300SD lists two paper manuals, not CD's.
Last time I looked, about 6 months ago, there were no listings for the 300SD, so I assumed that they had discontinued that manual.

They are listed for $30 each, so is this indicating that they are actually selling the paper copy again, or just that the media type is mis-marked?

I have looked a bit for a service manual for my '85 500 SEL and have not found one. Not even on the MBUSA link above. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Okay, here's my VIN #WDB AB93A5EF008301. So, is the chassis number and the engine number above the correct one?

Thanks.

Any idea how long they usually take to send those? I just noticed that I ordered mine on the 3rd and I was under the impression it only had to come from NJ.

They generally ship from the nearest central warehouse.
This year there is a higher than normal volume of people giving these as gifts = North American supply may be low/waiting re-stock shipment.

Just ordered one for the finny! Thanks a ton for the link!

The W126 CD is NLA = No Longer Available through MB.

hello,

I live in France and own 2 MBs: a vintage one (230SL '65) and a modern one (SLK200)...and plan to buy another vintage.

I followed the advice of Whunter to buy the 4 CDROM early models litterature on mbusa classic center. I know they don't ship overseas so I gave the postal address of a friend living in California.

They sent me a receipt (order # MBZB002802), charged my credit card then....nothing appended.

So far, I sent several inquiry mails to know what's going wrong but I never received any answer ...and I'm not enough fluent in english to try a phone call.

Is there anyone here in the same situation?

Many thanks

No other reports of lost orders.

I called the classic center, that order/part number is not in their system.

You must have ordered on-line through MB.

This will require e-mail to your California friend, send the website/billing/contact data and they can find a way to contact MB regarding missing order..
