What is the best repair manual?

mattley said:

I'm new to the forum and a relatively new owner - got a 1989 560 SL in November. My husband and I have 3 Corvettes, but I've always wanted a Mercedes and I jumped at this one when we found it. Anyway, I know that we will be doing a lot of the work and wondered which one you all thought is the best. Thanks

mattley,
Congrats on the new addition!

I agree with A&L's300SL comment about the paper manuals if you can find them. In the interim to get started with the car, you can get an MB 107 Maintenance and Service CD direct from Mercedes. These were selling recently for around $20, and while not as complete as the paper manual series from which the CD's were made, it will certainly aquaint you with the car and it's systems.

Use this part number and contact the

You can also go to www.mbusa.com to 'register' yourself and your car's VIN + other goodies they have in the Classics section. Have fun with your new toy!
