Repair Book Suggestion
I am going to order Wayne's book (101 Projects...), but I am also looking for suggestions on a good p-car REPAIR book. Something that will walk me through the basics. I don't know if Haynes makes one or is it worth it? Any suggestions appreciated....
Thanks, Ed

Bentley. More expensive, worth it.

Wayne's book takes you by the hand quite a bit, e.g. on the oil change and other basics.
Bentley is a good reference and I use it a lot. It has the wiring diagrams nicely too. Cheers, George |

![]() A trilogy of 101 Projects, Bentley and Haynes seems to cover all the bases and the different wording from book to book sometimes clears up a procedure that is confusing. The one book (well, set) that I'm least confident in is the factory workshop manuals. The Pelican site and the 2 books from Wayne plus the forums amounts to the best source of info available. |
