newbie needs manual for 300 SDL
 

Hello,
I have just purchased my first mercedes :)
It is a 87 300 sdl with 184000 miles.
I was wondering if someone could recommend a good comprehensive
service manual. Also, would someone suggect some good online sites
for ordering parts? Thank you all for looking and your time
Michael

Smity's auto parts, or Sasponline.com has great online service, are fast, and have the lowest prices anywhere. I've ordered from them for 3 years and have had perfect results....even a return was a positive experience...

Just a word of CAUTION....I have read in other MB forums, Mshop, and MB World, that quite a few people who have ordered parts from the MB parts supplier Adsit Co. based out of California, had legitimate complaints about receiving wrong parts, damaged parts, or unshipped parts, and when brought to Adsit's attention, Adsit either ignored, or denied, their complaints and told them no money back, essentially "go to hell"!

Based on the complaints I've read, I would doubt I would ever do business with Adsit!

I might also mention, and I forgot, I have ordered parts for my former 450SL through Ron of GermanStar, who is a member here and his username is - Germanstar - on this forum. His prices were competitive and his delivery of parts I ordered from him were delivered to my door more than half way across the country next day!.... Look him up here for MB parts........BB
