Getting a service manual (book not CD)
 

Hi I want to get a service manual for my 1984 300SD. Any suggestions? Please do not even mention chiltons.

Keep your eye on Ebay for a used MB set.

I have found one source for legal W126 re-prints, and they are selling you the CD + contracting to print one hard copy for you, S&H may be extra..
IMO: it is cheaper to buy the CD and print it yourself..

The linked website has been forced to remove all MB content due to copyright infringement.

Another example of why we have this rule:

Quick question on your manuals, it wouldn't happen to contain a wiring diagram of some sort that involves the power windows would it? because that is what irks me about chilton (plus a few other things)
