If you own a pre-mid 70's Mercedes-Benz, this is the best money you will spend outside of having the original, factory to dealer shop manual (which is VERY expensive). It is better illustrated and written than all of the other manuals I have for my car (a 1968 280SE - injected) - and it costs about a third of the price. It is particularly helpful with all of the intricate settings of the mechanical fuel injection and tune-up procedures, explaining them in clear detail with very helpful diagrams and photos. All inclusive tables have "at a glance" references for such things as ignition timing, points gap, spark plug gap, vacuum advance on the distributor, etc. If you have anything from Mercedes built from about 1950 to 1971/2 - you need this book.

this book may be fine if you have a pre 1966 model
nothing here says what years it covers

This book was not what one would expect by description. It is complicated and not specific to the S420 as described. This book is geered more for a top mechanic or a automobile builder who would have a vast amount of knowledge about cars. It is not for the average person wanting to know about their car. I got the book and sent it right back with the hour as it was not for me and did not tell me nothing for my S420.

A very well done manual, no 5 stars because there are no color pictures and that would have made it perfect. This is a keeper.

Has a lot of interesting diagrams but some are ilegible (can not read them) cause is black and white all of them, only portrait in color.

This repair manual has been worth it's weight in gold! Great pictures, and thorough, complete guidance!

this is a very help book it told me evry i was looking for if have 1972 mercedes i just bought and i was looking for the right manual this took me through every that i was looking for i strong suggest this book to any one looking for a good repair manual for you old mercedes buy it.
