Re: [MBZ] [Fwd: The W124 Bible]
Another good one is the Mercedes Technical Companion available from Bentley publisher's. The diy section has good repair's of common faults including the Becker radio repair section. I have both the manuals and would be a little more inclined on this one . mak - Original Message - From: Marshall Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List Mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 5:50 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] [Fwd: The W124 Bible] Striplin Admin account wrote: Original Message Subject: The W124 Bible Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 10:49:48 -0400 From: LarryT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I bought the above manual a few eeeks ago from Rusty for around $25 and have finally gotten thru most of it briefly.
