If someone is interessed in the original MB USA service DVD, for the
complete range 129 from 1990 till 2003 with servicemanuals - parts finder-
electronic drawings - diagnostic manuals etc.etc . So every information that
your dealer has in stock: I got one copy of the original and can make copy's
.. I am in the mood to help collegedrivers and am not bussey to make great
profit, but off course i can not send everybody for free, but if i know what
the shippingcost are, we can make an deal. So the one who are interessted
can contact me at kuylaars at hotmail.com<mailto:kuylaars at hotmail.com>
