I bought to wrong manual, but will it suffice?

I am buying a '76 240D on Monday, and to use for work I got the Haynes manual that covers the 123 chassis. It said 1976 to 1980 something, including the 240D. But none of the examples look like mine, so I realized I have the earlier W115. First of all, is that correct? Second of all, I assume they didn't change a whole lot betwee '75 and 76', so can I get by with a W123 manual? Will I gain anything with the correct W115 manual?
In any case, MAN am excited to get this thing! It's a beauty!

Well... I think the engine and transmission should be the same. But the rest will be different (at least a little). I don't know how much.

Your car is a W115, not a W123. Unfortunately there is not a Haynes manual available for the W115 diesels. The W123 should be similar for the drive train.

Those sites are kinda off and on, but who's complaining for free?

It's working now, and the 115 section is a "GO". (I'm looking at "reconditioning the steering coupling' for a 115 right now.

I think they are sometimes hard to access due to limited bandwidth.($$)

Since they are provided by someone, free of charge to us, I can't complain too much. It usually depends on the time of day and whether you are using dail-up or DSL/cable. Personally, I wouldn't think a $10/yr. subscription fee would be too much if they increased the bandwidth for easier access.
