Until you get a hard copy or CD:

This site has pdf files of many sections of the factory service manual for W123 cars:

Mercedes Source guides

Yes I'm familar with quite a few of their guides and some of their kits . They are competitive on prices with everyone else and they send out a detailed one or two page instructional guide with all of their kits . I recently renewed my drivers side seat spring using their guidebook and also would give a glowing review of their " Diesel welcome kit " . For those of you with issues about your 123 dash lighting , check out their dash light upgrade bulbs , I did and you can even see your trip odometer at night now .

I've been very satisfied with the fuse upgrade kits I've purchased from them and also the W123/W126 Diesel vacuum troubleshooting guide. It was well worth the $20 I paid for it.
