Hi, Does anyone have any kind of detailed electrical diagram for my car? I have a haynes manual, but as we all know it's not too detailed. I specifically need the part for the engine loom (i may replace it myself over the summer). I don't know what is out there to get/buy in terms of official...

hi all, I took my car (w203) for an aircon clean and refill the other day and the ppl (ATS) told me it could be leaking as the machine displayed a fault, they said the machine didn't specify whether the fault was in the machine or in the car in the form as a leak, either way they didn't know...
