Hi all,

Can someone tell me, would something like a haynes or helms car service manual be relevant to cars here in Australia? Just wondering due to the different configurations of cars overseas. Is there a local version of the same sort of product?

Thanks

there isn't a whole lot of difference really between the o/s version and the aus...

where there is a difference...use your intuition

i'm using the haynes vers btw

Hey Zster!

Start looking in Ebay... They sell some pretty good manuals at cheap prices! I've bought a couple of Mercs and Porsche manual for my tuner at a bargain!

I got a workshop manual for a prelude off ebay for $20 on a cd aswell as a parts system. I just print out relevant pages when I want to do something.
