I actually was given this site by my local MBCA, which listed it as a helpful website for MB automobiles. It's been a very good and helpful recommendation.

The P.O. of my 1985 300D pointed me here, and I've been a daily addict ever since. You wouldn't know it from my postcount
 as I read rabidly but don't know enough, generally speaking, to post. This site is invaluable, nowhere else will you find such a condensation of knowledge into one resource. Far superior to my Haynes.

Not only is it superior to the Haynes manual it is superior to the shop manuals from Mercedes. When we first got the '85 nothing worked on the vac system. With the help of the search we went through every inch of tubing, even repairing a switch over valve. She runs like a dream, shifts like a dream, and even heats like a dream in our North Dakota winter! Thanks everyone! J. R. B.

I verbally agreed to buy an '85 300d recently. When I get it to my house (today or tomorrow) I'll introduce the car and myself further. I've been reading and reading for awhile and finally it appears I actually will become a MB owner...Rob M Concord, MA

I use this forum all the time.
As a new MB owner and also being new to diesel engines, I have relied on this forum to answer all of my technical questions that I find in the manual. While I have posted relatively infrequently, I have learned a great deal by searching for and reading old threads.
I would also like to go on record in praising Phil at Fastlane. He has been extremely helpful to me, a real pleasure to do business with. If you are ordering MB parts over the net, please support the sponsor of this outstanding forum!

I rely on the forum for entertainment mostly, but I've learned a lot here.

I have learned 99% of what I know about the car through the forum. I would be nowhere without it.

The most useful forum ever
I wouldn't think of doing anything other than changing oil without using this forum.
The assistance of others on this forum has been indispensable. Many thanks to all.
