280 workshop manual??

Anyone know of a 280S or w116 280 paperback workshop repair manual?

There's a Haynes one that doesn't cover w116 engines only sohc and/or 114/115's - upto 1972 basically. 
There's also a Chilton's one that supposedly covers everything and anything comprehensively from a 190d to a 6.9 in 200+ pages. Yeah right.

I downloaded most fo the 280S stuff from the library here but there's nothing quite like flipping thru pages.  I'm not going to bother buying the CD manual because it's the same as the online version and US based.  No offense USA guys, but if you lot imported 350se's all those years ago my life would've been much easier and I'd buy the CD regardless if the 280s was in it or not. ;)

If there's nothing, I'll just have to print out all those pdf's, (at work ;D)
1973 350SE, my first & fave

I have the chilton's manual and its OK.  As with the hayne's manuals, if you need to read up in them you shouldn't be attempting the job, unless its just to look up torques etc.
