FridgeFreezer Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Welcome! Your first challenge is to post a picture of your vehicle For manuals, have a look in the tech archive, there are links to places to download lots of manuals, parts books and the Land Rover RAVE/EPC dealer parts catalogue system CD's. I find the parts book / CD more useful than a service manual as it shows everything in an exploded diagram so you know what goes where, although on more modern stuff you sometimes need the instructions & data from the service book. As for non-genuine books, they don't call them the Haynes Book Of Lies for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjolliffe Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Welcome to wierd world of land rover ownership! Haynes manuals are ok but spend the extra and get a proper workshop manual, little harder to follow but much more in depth and useful!

SteveG Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Having used both paper workshop manuals and RAVE, you'd be better getting RAVE. Finding things in the paper manuals is not straightforward and the search tool in Rave makes it easy to find things straight away. Or buy the manual and use both if you feel you need the printed book. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
