Narwhal:

Most of us here have cars long, long out of warrenty rather than nearly new! Mine are all over 12 years old, for instance.

There is only one "bible" for your MB, and that is the CD here on PartShop. Don't expect to see a Chiltons or Haynes for at least another six or seven years, and they are, to be polite, less than optimal. What you get in the CD is the "real" MB shop manual. Much better.

Welcome to the board, though! I'm sure you love your "new" benz!

Peter
