 |
|
The Motorbook Store in Richardson Texas north of Dallas has shop manuals in stock from Brooklands for $28.95 for the five cylinder or $33.95 for the VR6 powered Eurovan’s. I’ve been waiting three or four months for them to re-stock the five cylinder book and it finally came in yesterday. I’ve ordered both books since I have an in-line five and a VR6 Eurovan and have to pull the cylinder head from the five cylinder shortly. I’ll give a brief review when I receive the repair manuals

Remarkably the two manuals have already arrived literally 24 hours after they were ordered. That said the seller was only about 300 miles away and it was shipped by priority USPS, but I was still impressed that it got here today after being orfered yesterday. Stephen, you are correct sir it turns out the VR six is not covered in the 1996 on book. These appear to be perhaps printed for the European versions of the Eurovan. That said I’m hoping that the information in the 90 to 95 petrol and diesel models applies to my five cylinder cylinder head removal task I have upcoming. Hoping the torque numbers are correct . Thinking I may keep the manual for my 2003 even though it does not cover my engine as a general reference manual unless those of you and you know thank my 1990 to 1995 manual will give me essentially that same information for things like suspension and brakes and electrics. |

They must have gone quickly. I just looked and the only two they had were the repair manual set for $179 and the scan tool companion for $14.95.
EDIT:
Okay, scratch that. It was there. You have to search under T4 and not Eurovan. |

| I went ahead and ordered one for my 1993. I figure there should be enough info in there to make it worth the $30 purchase. |

| I have book one of the Bentley.. I also have both the Bentley and the Haynes & the Idiot Book for my Bay. My point is,each one is different and useful for when wOrkin on my Bay but with my EV I only have the Bentley option and it's hard to understand for the average Joe or Jane. Sooo complete is not all it chocked up to be.. I really often need a lite version. Bill in PR & thanks for the info. Good luck |

All data for the T4 is $7 a year/ 5 years and is always on your phone.
For me, that’s better than a hard copy manual
