Summary: not what i expected
i bought this book thinking that it would be a good refrence and guide for doing repairs and maintnence on my79 300d. in reading the reveiws on amazon i got that empresion. not exactly. it is collaberation of articles in a mecedes magazine. yes it may have some helpful info, and some tecnical gudance, but it is not necessarly going to have your spacific problem. if you are lookiing for a complete guide to repairs and maintnece this is not your book.

Summary: Wonderful
Even though my model wasn't covered very much, the Companion had a lot of pertinent information. I would recommend it for anyone who has an older Mercedes and likes to do their own work.

Summary: Mercedes Benz Technical Companion
This is an excellent book. I'm on an MB chatline and many of the subjects asked about are thoroughly explained in the book. This book is written for the backyard mechanic with many great pictures accompanying the articles. I would highly advise anyone considering working on their own Mercedes to have this book.

Summary: Don't buy an SL without reading this book first!
If you're considering buying an SL, or simply want to learn more about your existing one(s), I strongly recommend getting this book! I had spent countless hours searching the internet for specific information, but to no avail. However, once I bought the book, no more wasted time. All that I needed to know was between the covers. If you're an SL enthusiast, don't be caught without it!

Summary: Great SL Guide
This book is excellent for anyone looking to invest in one of these classic sports cars. There is plenty of information to provide you with a very good working knowledge of the car before you make a purchasing decision. The cost of this book is a small price to pay that can save you thousands of dollars if you buy the wrong car. Get the book and be better prepared to buy the car.

Summary: Keep this handy on your bookshelf
This is one of those books you will refer to time and again . If someone is new to car collecting they will save themselves time and aggravation . Covers all cars with all the driving impressions and stats one could ask for.........great book

Summary: It's more of a GUIDE....(think pre-purchase guide)
I was expecting more in the way of technical explanations about my MB. This is not the book you want if you are looking for a breakdown of how things are put together(as in DIY auto repairs).
It is a very good guide on what to look for mostly when purchasing a MB auto.

Summary: Useful maintenance info
I think this book would have been better received if it wasn't labelled "Owner's Bible". This has raised expectations that weren't met.
The review on the cover of the book describes the contents accurately - its intended to help prospective owners purchase a vehicle, and owners to perform routine maintenance. It does both of these things very well. A third objective was to make the owner better able to discuss complex service issues with their service facility.
If you want to rebuild the transmission, this is the wrong book. If you want information on making a purchase, performing maintenance, trouble shooting common problems, and insight into complex repairs this is a great book. Enjoyable to read, too.

Summary: Good as far as it goes...
This book was widely anticipated and loaded with high expectations among the 124 (E-class chassis) community. I pre-ordered a copy months in advance. Why? The factory shop manual on CD is very difficult to use. A Haynes manual is only published in Europe, and covers only European models. This means there is effectively no aftermarket shop manual for these cars, where many other MB models have one available. I think we were all expecting a "Bentley Grade" shop manual (and all that this entails), like the stellar ones produced for BMWs and Audis. What we got was essentially an enhanced owner's manual, or a buyer's guide.
If you just bought a 124, this book makes for a good orientation.
If you are considering buying a 124, this is an excellent buyer's guide.
If you want to actually fix something yourself, forget it!
The Haynes manual from the UK is still the best bet for an aftermarket workshop manual. (ISBN: 1859602533)
Anything really serious requires the factory CDs.

Summary: Comprehensive, accurate, beautiful... a fun read as well!
Adler has done it again with a sumptious book showing the true evolution of the marque. Original photogaphy of very rare cars is complimented by museum archive shots, most of which I've never seen elsewhere. What amazed me was the 1930's poster art as well... Stuttgart clearly gave him total access!
No stone unturned, here are the cars we all love (and sometimes drive - or dream we could drive).

Summary: Another Disappointment
After being disappointed by Adler's Duesenberg book, I approached this book with some trepidation. In the Duesenberg book,the one redeeming factor was the excellent photos. This book, Mercedes-Benz, not only exhibits worthless and erroneous history and information, the photos are a huge disappointment. Poorly cropped, over or under-developed and poorly printed, this book will become the first automobile title that I will actually return for a refund; it will not find its way onto my bookshelf!

Summary: Chilton's Mercedes-Benz 1968-73 Repair Guide Review
The repair guide is an excellent source if you want to know just about everything you'll need to do to a Mercedes-Benz vehicle in this time frame. Engine rebuilding, wiring diagrams, specifications,fuel injection, carburation, diesel-all in step by step detail. I've got a 280SE & 280SEL, both with the 4.5 (M117)engine, and the Chilton's has eliminated hours of tracing wires, measuring pump pressure, and wondering how to pull the engine from my work with these two vehicles. I'd recommend it to any enthusiast, from professional to novice.
