In the shop is a fax copy of what looks like a "proper" M-B workshop manual but is it worth shelling out the £45 for, what does it offer that the Haynes manual does'nt?

hi,

Not sure what model 190E your running but for mine there are quite a few areas not covered...so obviously i find the Haynes manual useless in respect to those. Seem to remember the models that manual covers being listed somewhere in it...possibly on the rear cover ??

mike,

i bought a copy for the 190e-for £45-is is a fax copy-quality of pictures in it is poor-not as good as haynes.

The MB manuals are designed for Mercedes (and other) trained mechanics, so for the DIY mechanic I would recommend Haynes. I have two original Mercedes manuals for cars built 1959-69 and 69-79. They are very good, but sometimes I use both of them together. I don't know about the quality of the photocopied ones sold through the club, so can't comment on those.
