No "one" manual is perfect and covers everything. You will get a lot of opinions (which is good) - here are mine:
1. This group has lots of info in the archives.
2. Haynes Manual for your specific model.
3. Performance Product catalog for pictures and diagrams.
4. CD Manuals from Tom at Classic Center
5. Google for URL's to many DIY sites including Dieselgiant
6. Mercedessource for DIY videos.
7. PAP yards so you can take things apart and put things back together.
8. MB Star book covering 50 years of "how to fix" things Mercedes.
9. Did I mention Google? Punch in whatever your issue is, e.g., "fix 1983 w123 brakes" and see what pops up (100 or so articles, many with pictures).
10. There are other things, but I will let other people chime in.
Go slow, take your time, enjoy your car.
