Pagoda SL Group Technical Manual
This is the Wiki for the Technical Manual for the Pagoda SL Group, the International Club for Mercedes Benz 230 SL / 250 SL / 280 SL Roadsters of the W113 series. The information that is collected here derives from a number of sources, but mainly the old Yahoo W113 Group and the Pagoda SL Group Forums.

At some point in the future we may allow editing rights to everyone. It is likely that this will not happen until we have structured the information on this site in some reasonably consistent shape. Join us to help create this technical manual.
This is a work in progress. At any time data may be incorrect, incomplete or even plain misleading. Due to the nature of Wiki development things may get worse before they get better. You use this information entirely at your own risk, the Pagoda SL Group takes no responsibility.

Works in progress
If you want to create a new topic, but are unsure of where to fit it in the manual, just create an entry here with a new name. We can re-organise it later, and make it fit in the correct section of the manual. But don't be afraid to start something new here... Just Edit this page and add your topic at the bottom (have a look at the examples). Then Save the page, and click on your topic. A new page opens allowing you to create your content. I've added some topics people have told me they can write about.
Once these topics have been completed they will be moved into the correct sections of the manual, if not there already. They will then be removed from this list.
For Editors
For those of us who edit this manual, here we collect Edit Notes on how to structure and complete the manual. Also see News for editors on how this manual and the Wiki is evolving.
A local copy of PmWiki's documentation has been installed along with the software, and is available via the documentation index. It is available on all pages from the menu on the left. The basic editing page describes how to create pages in PmWiki. You can practice editing in the wiki sandbox.
