Online Information: vdh flipbooks offline

[WRe]

Hi,
all flipbooks (see https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Documents/Start or https://mercedesclubs.de/anleitungen)
offered by vdh Mercedes Club Germany are offline* at the moment because they were hacked and the download procedure for the pdfs was published in the Internet.

Unfortunate, but one of the realities of the internet. That is why we are unable to copy or post the Service manuals/BBB to the Technical Wiki. The Wiki has developed as a "labour of love" by a small number members on this site. It is original material, which is why we can make it available. Occasionally I need to remove copyrighted material, but your own diagrams or photos are safe.

I am sure that whoever downloaded the flipbooks as PDF's intends to make money off them by selling them on-line or as a CD.

I hope that the Mercedesclub Germany is able to build in enough safeguards to allow access again. WRe... perhaps I could even enter into a discussion with them (if you have a technical contact there) to allow our Full Members to access the flipbooks using their sl113.org log in.
