I want a....

[Malc]

Workshop manual (in English) for my 1984 280SL (R107). I am having a bu**er of a time finding one, (even searching this site) so
1... Do they exist?
2... Where can I get them?

I see lots of stuff especially CD's any good?
However most is for 380/450/500's [V8] but I need the info on the 6 DOHC cylinder engine too.

Any help, pointers suggestions appreciated
Thanks

I got one of the CD's, from MB USA ,it's hard work compared to a traditional manual, but does have the benefit of being Merc derived.

I believe the MB WIS system has details of all mercedes models, even your 280 SL. Perhaps someone who has one can enlighten us both.

Your 280 engine is an M103, and you can source info on that from any w123 manual for a 280 model of the same vintage.

Thanks
Hopefully I can order from here a CD from over there.... Yes?
Er...
What's WIS?
(I'm fairly new to this MB lark!)

the 280 engine is actually a M110, same as in my W116. If you get the Haynes 123 series (250 & 280) manual (I just picked up a used copy on ebay for £2) it gives you plenty of info on this engine.

I sit corrected.

I never could remember which engine was which.
