    Repair manuals

    Hi having just done a new clutch recently using my haynes manual and then finding the one on basscliff,s site much better just wondering if the clymer manual will be any better than the haynes one or do i try and find one like basscliff,s,

    Its not an easy find this side of the pond and i am thinking of buying one stateside but its the postage.
    I have put the feelers out over here plenty of clmer one,s the one on basscliffs is not so easy to get.

    Appreciate any advice/info, cheers,Mark.

    I do recomend Clymers over the Haynse.
    And i do recommend having the factory manaul in addition to the Clymers.
    The factory manaul does have more information, and more pictures, but relys on factory special tools a lot.

        I printed out the factory manual from Basscliff's site.

        A binder, a hole punch and a pile of paper were required. Also a shyte load of time, as each page had to be sized up, and I wanted front and back printing. Of course, after sizing up, the quality of the pics suffers.

              It was many hours, it was days. But after 24 years on 4 wheels, it was a labor of love. And to be honest, I was being 'financed'. I had a sponsor. I loved the Epsom Stylus Photo 1400 I did the printing on, but in a way I'm kind of glad it's broken. These days, I couldn't afford to keep it's 8 ink cartridges full.

                I've found it's well worth having all the manuals you can get your hands on; they all suck, and they're all absolutely riddled with errors (yes, even the FSM), but they all suck in different ways, so often you can get a better idea of what's happening by reading and comparing all.

                The scanned PDF or photocopied factory manuals are often too blurry to be much good; you can't see anything in most of the pics. But they're just about all you can get now.

                  You speak the truth - read and compare all.

                    Thanks for the input got a couple of auto jumbles taking place in september my list of things to get is growing longer by the week.
                    Will be having a good look at stalls with books and manuals you never know i might get lucky.

                    Thank you,Mark.
