OK let me try and explain, i have loaded disc one no problem, you then need disc 2 and leave it in while your looking up procedures but it opens with loads of files and it needs to be opened. i cannot do so! I'm not that good with computers but it prompts me to open with ect.. and no luck

Jud Chapin

Where do you see instructions advising to load disc 2 when you are looking up things? I have both the work shop and the parts listing guide dated '04. I've loaded both and have seen no instructions indicating loading any discs again. While I haven't spent much time with mine (just loaded it last week), both seem to be working fine. However, sometimes I do notice that when I open (use) my CD/DVD drive for something unrelated prior to opening the MD files, the system will ask for a disc. But if I don't open the drive, all is ok. I think this is normal as the system is just looking for a disc since that drive was opened. Keep me posted.

beacham

hi, yes i will keep you posted, prob just me don't know what I'm doing. i will have another try and make a proper note of what it asks for. cheers

beacham

OK its MITCHELL ON-DEMAND SYSTEM i have 2 disc system, i put in disc 1 this loads and you choose your vehicle. when entered it pop out CD tray for disc 2, only info i can get is general stuff that applies to all car repair, there are files i cant open it asks... to open windows needs to know what programme created it ect... and i cant! some files end with od4 don't know if i have programme to open it or maybe its a corrupt disc. any thoughts?

Are your DVD's produced by Mercedes? These are the ones I'm talking about that I got off Ebay:

1998-2000 MERCEDES CL500 CL 500 WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL Item number: 290193499437 on ebay.co.uk sorry couldnt do a link

Jud Chapin

What is Mitchell On Demand System?

beacham

i don't know mate, it just says cl500 repair and i thought that will do me. only wanted to find out where front bumper mounts wer so just bought it. emailed seller but no reply i think maybe its corrupt. might buy elsewhere

Jud Chapin

What operating system are you using?

beacham

windows xp 2002

Jud Chapin

I don't know, man. I wish I could help you. Mine came with very specific directions which I followed and, as I mentioned, I had no trouble loading the discs.

beacham

just my bad luck, just as well it was only a few pound, thanks for trying to help i appreciate it.

Jud Chapin

If the seller doesn't get back to you, I'd write it up as such on Ebay.

beacham

as i said only wanted instructions on how to remove front bumper, anyone got any info they can send me? or i will just have to find out the hard way. thanks

shanusanus

Beacham - I think the prob is that the set youve bought arnt the ones MB use - I have the set and I can tell you its NOT mitchell. Mine are completly Mercedes named all over and you install from 1 double sided DVD (older version were up to 5 CD's) and then its all on the Hard Drive.

As for what your after yes I would be able to find the info but getting it to you is abit tricky - have you tried : http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb0.asp?TP=1

that site has the mercedes WIS (basically what I have installed) all online. Just click on out model 215 CL 500 and youll get diagrams etc and part numbers. However it is NOT as in depth as the proper Mercedes WIS set we get on DVD.

Maybe if you message me a fax number I can print off what your after and fax it to you? It will be after the weekend though mate.

hello, i have had a look on there but it just shows attachment parts for front bumper but it is help full all the same, what discs did you get? thanks

shanusanus

Beacham I have what you need - found it quiet easily its article AR88.20-P-2000M Remove\Install front bumper

However the way Merc WIS works is that you can only print off the sheet. Do you have a fax number I can fax to you?

shanusanus

BTW I have 2005 WIS set from Mercedes which I bought on eBay about 2 years ago - only managed to get it running on a win2000 PC though damn it

beacham

hi mate, i will get a fax number to you, i aint got one at the mo but will see what i can sort out, big thanks to you

beacham

e-bay seller has made contact and is sending me another disc first thing, if i don't get any luck with it i will sort out that fax number OK.

Jud Chapin

Good deal and good luck with the new discs.

shanusanus

Just to speed things up for you I've scanned the 2 pages in for you

Hope this helps.

Jud Chapin

shanusanus, thanks for the tip on the MB workshop and parts catalog. I haven't spent much time with it yet but found it a little difficult to look info up. I guess I'll get better at it, especially after I read the manual.
You provided a sight for MB info above:
http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb0.asp?TP=1

However, when I tried access to the CL, I came up with a blank page. Any help you could provide here would be great along with any other free repair sites for the CL. Thanks again!

beacham

hi shanusanus, thanks for the pics your a top man! and jud did you have blank pages on that russian site? i tried the link and it worked ok for me.

Jud Chapin

Oh, I see (said the blind man). I just didn't go down far enough. Thanks.
