Peter RD Russek repair guide

[19super73]

I have come across this manual and was wondering if it was even worth picking up. It is claimed to be a repair guide published in '74, 189 pages and 90 illustrations with a removable wiring diagram.

Does anyone own this manual and have any feedback?

Every so often I snoop around the UK eBay site for stuff. And every so often within that every so often, I will see a Russek manual. Many are from the '70s and some are more contemporary. Most of the time they are for a car like a Citroen so I am not too sure why they come up on my searches.

If I already had a 412 like you do, I would grab it. I must admit, however, I have no idea how useful they are or if it would even pertain to a North American model.

Except for the right hand drive and a few options that cold climate users might find....the 411/412 were the same parts wise on all continents. It woudl be interesting to know whether the manual has any more usefulness than those out there.
The Haynes manual is very good...but rather incomplete in certain areas because they deemed certain issues beyond the users ability.
The Clymer manual is virtually worthless in all respects except for the gasoline heater diagram section and the rear drivetrain alignment section. its the only manual with that information.
The bentley brown type 3 manual is excellent for the automatic transmission section for both type 3 and 4.

Well I TOFTT and bought a copy of eBay. It's new but original. It comes with a pull out folding wiring diagram that is pretty good and after a short flip throught the book, it looks pretty good, better than a Clymer at least.

If anyone is interested, I think there are 3 copies left.

It's a good price, (not much to loose), and every little bit helps with these cars.
