copies can get them from me. I repeat they suck, discourage anyone from buying
manuals from them. It looks like some inbred moron was the official spell-checker, and
the manuals don't even help out. The short radiator hose I ordered (which is supposed to
be an official Mercedes Benz part) came and it is a cheap improvised straight hose with
two hose clamps. I do not feel good about buying parts from Mercedes Source.com
Anyone with a similar experience??
