   If you’ve bought an old merc as I have, this is a good place to start. But, you need to make sure that the exact car you have is covered, or otherwise it is a useless book. I found it really useful for basic repair, as well as showing me the process that the shop will go through, so I know if the price they quote is fair or not.

   I ordered this book but it wasn’t what I needed. I don’t feel like the title gave enough info. I have a 1973 280C with a 2.8 DOHC engine. This paticular book covers the 280SL series. Ooops. I’m new to Mercedes – always been a Triumph man – an honest mistake. Amazon was great about taking it back so no complaints.

   I just thought I’d include the info that I was missing upon purchase. Haynes manuals are the best though…thanks!

   This manual is a typical Haynes publication: not a complete “factory” service manual, but a very thorough guide for the DIY’er. Easy to read, it includes a “British to American” translation guide in the front of the manual to eliminate any possible confusion with technical terms and part names. If you own the 4.5 or 6.0 engine, however, you may want to search for another manual.

   Just exactly the book we have been searching for to rebuild the motor in our old car. It is just what the doctor ordered!
