Hello all, I am new to this forum and found it by searching on google. I am in need of a Service Manual for a 1989 420SEL. Could someone please point me out which manual is the "widely used" or "preferred choice" by people of this forum and where to purchase the manual? Any suggestions or help would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you all .

Is there a specific name for the CD-Manual? How much information does it cover for the 420SEL? Thanks for your suggestion.

There is no specific name. People just have the originals and knock them off in a burner. They can be had for like $20.
