Newsletter Number 82
1st November 2004

---

Welcome.  Just a quick short newsletter this time. The most important thing is to let everybody know about the workshop night with the local Mercedes-Benz club next Tuesday.  All are welcome, see below.  Also in this newsletter we have some specials on workshop manuals for a lucky few and some owners manuals.

Thanks John Green.

Mercedes-Benz Club Garage Night.

  Next Tuesday, the 9th of November, we will be hosting the monthly meeting for the Mercedes-Benz Club of the ACT.  Snags and refreshments (beer or soft drink) will be served from 6.00pm with the meeting starting at 7.00pm. We will be having a tour of our workshop and parts buildings as well as a discussion on various aspects of vehicle maintenance.

You do not need to be a member of the club to attend. We will have pictures and a report from the night in the next newsletter.  If you click here you will find Newsletter No.54 where we did a self guided tour, and if you click here you can see a Power point presentation on the workshop with some shots taken not long after we enlarged it.

 

               Cars to be dismantled.

 Just one worth mentioning this week:

230.4 W115 1976, the last of the W115 series, really not that bad a car, just a bit ugly. Very good engine and auto transmission, has some rare options like  heated rear windscreen, l/h mirror, A/C, etc.

So if you need any bits for your 230.4 give us a ring on 1300 787 300 or e-mail the spares department.

Owners manuals

We stock a good range of owners manuals and, while we can't always get everything, we do try to find what we can. Here is a list of what we currently have in stock with some special prices for Newsletter members:
