need 1990 500SL Owners Manual
 

any pointers to links/sites/stores where I could buy one would be appreciated.

Need either English or French language.

The car I bought was built for German market and my manual is in German :-(

a plastic hammer and a blunt chisel will do as well. it's not really that hard.

you can also find some propeller counter holder tool. the one with adjustable prong.

Keep an eye on ebay. Manuals appear frequently - that's where I got my 1995 edition. Most come complete with folder, radio manual, etc.

I purchased a copy of a manual from Mercedes Corporate (on line). They tend to run out but once they reach a certain level, they will reprint. Ebay is a great source but I was able to purchase from Mercedes for less.

Sbeemish & Budsl600, thanks for your answers. Not sure about the moderators "enlightening" answer. Found what I was looking for, however on another SL forum that was less cryptic than plastic hammers & blunt chisels.

Regards

That's funny. Sleepwalker answers so many calls for help that he obviously got a couple mixed up. You can bet he had your best interests in mind, though. Plus, he likes scotch whiskey so you never know.

yeah, something seems to be wrong.

first, my reply is far from what he was asking and i don't even got the idea why i answer that way.

it could have been mixed-up. i was thinking it was for wizkid's question.

sorry about the mistake.

Thanks for honesty, Sleepwalker!

Reinstills my confidence in this forum!

Best Regards,

Go to www.thedriverscorner.com

DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE. Believe me I might be a bit unlucky but they had a glitch on their site which cost me about £650! they made a duplicate on my order with a different order no. (which they have denied it's existence) and that was it!!!

May I also add that (The Driver's Corner) has just been removed from (BenzWorld) forum although they were a big sponsor and that is due to their failure to resolve numerous current problems with their orders.
Thank you.
