w123 repair manuals

[richvdh]

Hi all,

I hope this isn't too much of a stupid question, but as you can see I'm new in these parts... But there seems to be lots of helpful info here so I'm hoping somebody will be able to help out!

My gf has a 1983 230CE, and she has expressed an interest in learning a bit more about how to maintain it. I'm trying to track down a manual on the subject. Haynes seem to have passed over this particular model, so I've been looking further afield - mostly with the help of links off this forum . There seem to be a few options, and I was wondering if anybody had any opinions on any of them:

- Startekinfo.com have a cd for the 123 models - is this any good? I imagine it only covers the US model - is there much difference between US and UK specs?

- There's also a series called 'Pocket Mechanic' by Peter Russek, of which one covers this model. Any experience here?

- Is there anything I've missed? I've seen reference to something called WIS - what's that?

Thanks very much for any help!
