[.ca] Mercedes-Benz: Coupes/Sedans/Wagons 1974-84 (ISBN 0801990769)

Very General Book - Few Specifics:
AsI suspected whenI bought this book, it covers too many models and is far too thin on the ground. It is little better than a general maintenance book. In contrast to the Robert Bentley manuals which are 5 star+, I found this book to be of almost no practical value.

transmission:
all i want is the step by step illustration of a 1981 300D transmission repair manual and is there anybody out there who can show me the light of my missery.

V8 s please:
Anyone out there who can tell me if this covers the V8 engined SL's please- or guide me to a book that does. csilk@cheviottrust.com

HELLLP MEEE!:
I have a 86' 300 SDL Turbo Diesel 6cyl. I need to replace the timing chain and find top dead center. I need an original manual or repair maual for this car. If anyone can help i am at carminecovellojr@hotmail.com. this book is not thorough for diesels.

Don't get your hopes up:
This book is not all that bad. This is better than the Haynes manual any day. Its problem is that it is too vague. The only things it covers are the basic mechanical aspects. If you are having problems with say the vacuum system for the door locks on a 79 450sl, there is nothing. They lead you to believe that they have complete vacuum diagrams. In fact, most of the vacuum system is NOT covered.
