M-B tinkerers resources?????
June 14, 2004 - 4:31pm
Greetings all..........
Just acquired a 300SDL and plan on doing the WVO addition.
Before I go too crazy with the car I would like to get a few little items taken car of. Shade Tree Mechanic style.
My questions are:
Who seems to be a reliable source (not ebay) for the Service Manuals on CD??
Of the many M-B forums out there - which one(s) seem to be among the best??
Thank You in advance for your time.
Stephen

Smoooth... I recently purchased a 1981 300SD and have found a company out of Arizona which has the best price for Mercedes parts. I compare them to eBay all the time and they are very competitive. They are called German Star and the web site is www.germanstar.net. I purchase all my filters and maintenance items from them. Hope this helps.

I just looked at the german star site. Not bad on some of the prices. You just have to watch it. Some of their parts are outrageously expensive. I have found locally that advance auto parts carries the filters and a lot of the routine maintenance parts in stock. I would also look at Mercedessource.com for info for Do It yourself tinkerers and maintenance kits. His prices are reasonable. The Haynes Diesel Mercedes book is good too.
