as they're posted from USA they do take a couple of weeks to arrive though

wiring diagrams are also in the original reprint Driver's Handbook (Ref: 0058) - http://www.mgocshop.co.uk/catalog/Online_Catalogue_Handbooks_5.html

and Haynes

yes they are

I did also put:

and Haynes<<

the ones in the Driver's Handbook are A5 size so quite small, the Haynes of course by Sod's Law doesn't cover the model year I need

those OAP one's are also usefully in colour rather than straining to follow one line jumbled in with others

in another 15-20 years you'll appreciated them more :)

It's amazing the first day you think 'why have they printed this so small' and then realise it's not the print size that's changed but your eyes

I keep warning all how bad my eyes are, even worse than my memory

I got one of those US A3 colour ones, look really good. Not had a requirement to actually use it in anger so I can't comment on the accuracy but the actual ledgability and ease of use is good. Worth a punt, I'd say, as they aren't the most complex cars on the planet so if he got them wrong I'd be surprised!

I'll contact him about improvements when I have to use it

so far very minor things:

speedo and rev counter not labelled

fuse connections not numbered

UK cars have boots not trunks :)

connections not labelled on flasher unit, voltage stabiliser

the brown colour isn't very brown

that's it (so far) as I said minor stuff

I had one before with another car they are useful, plus they wipe clean if your eating a suasage sandwich with HP sauce dripping out unoticed
