Thumbs up W123 Repair Manual CDs $29.00 at Dealer

After TAX they were $29.00. A big sale at over $100 dollars off original price. In case you dont know there is a link in the DIY to an online version. Not sure if it complete or not but I do know that half or more of the time I cannot get the pages and it is almost always slow.

I wonder if they will work on Linux (Pretty good free OS I use on my laptop and Desktop. )

Cool find!

The only reason that the online manuals seem to run slow (atleast in my experience on a few different computers) is that they are mostly PDF based and it eats memory...especially for those who do not have a mass amount of unused mem sitting on their MB.

Thats motherboard...not mercedes benz

19.99 on MB website

19.99 on MB website but shipping it may come to the same price. Go to http://www.mbusa.com/heritage/index.do Then Classic Center -> Technical Literature.

Still too much to pay. They're no substitute for a printed manual and the pictures are terrible. Unless you have a lap top you can take to the garage, they're a PITA.

with the shipping I will go to the dealer and see what they charge for it.....I'd rather drive 3 miles than pay $7.75 shipping.


No they aren't as good as hardcopy manuals.....but they are better than nothing....or a chiltons which is almost as bad as nothing.
