Just to be clear, all cd manuals are pretty much the same, since they are the pirated versions of the MB factory manuals that are sold through MBUSA.

I have one from MBUSA and one from ebay. Quality is the same, but one cost $118 the other closer to $18.

Maybe there are some video CDs that describe specific repairs. The concept seems a little dumb, since the factory manual will basically in on shot tell you how to do everything possible on your car- direct from the source.

In addition to haynes, which is OK for the money, there are MB publications titled TDMs which are technical data manuals. They may be a bit specification/trivia oriented but if you turn into an enthusiast, they are worth the $35. Basically, these are 4in by 6 inch manuals one inch thick that describe dimensions, torques, permissible wear limits, etc for a range of models.

I hope this clarifies things...
