manuals
I am currently also trying to find a manual for my 1989 420sl. I have just bought a cd on ebay which claims to have the information for all the 107 SL models. I am in England, and it is coming from USA , so ill let you know when it arrives if it has the relevant info, and where to get one. Regards Richard.

I hope you won't be disappointed, but I think it will be the MBUSA manuals which just have the US models - so I don't think your engine will be in there, and there are numerous other differences. However, I hope I'm wrong and you will post to confirm when the CD arrives - because that would mean it should also cover the 300SL! I've been searching for a while without success.

Marc, I've checked out both Haynes and Chilton and cannot find any manual for a 107 1985 or later - and for any age of 107 I've found nothing on European models. Have I missed something?
And Deltacom, the link you posted points to manuals available from MB and gives their phone 800 number. I don't think the site itself is offering the manuals. Finally, from my experience, the main content of the CDs mentioned above ($20 on ebay) is PDFs of scanned pages from MB manuals - so I don't imagine thay are better or worse than the paper versions. I think that what they are is ripped-off copies of genuine MB CDs (as sold in the Parts Shop on this site for $150 or so). I agree that they are nothing like a Haynes manual, but remember that the original target for these manuals was not the DIY market (because MB have never offered that).

A lot of the manuals sold on eBay are CD-R copies. There are some legitimate sellers though. Ask for a picture of the CD. That will give it away immediately.
The 107 Service CD is black and looks like a speedometer. But it only has USA versions of the 107. That still doesn't answer the Euro question.

i too have stupidly bought the klausflorida cds and have been very dissapointed . any basic search engine will pull out all the information on these. So im still searching for that elusive 420sl techical information. Can anyone confirm that a manual indeed ever existed for this model ,as very few in total were built?
