Haynes manual - ****e?

I get the impression that some folks on here reckon the Haynes manual is a steaming pile of poo. Having used it myself to do a service and a couple of other bits, it seems OK to me but then I don't know very much.

I hear you can get an electronic copy of the proper LR service & repair manual - anybody know where I can download it from?

Haynes book for a Disco 1 is perfectly useable for most operations; however look at the sections on transfer boxes and gearboxes...

Also found a couple of minor errors in mine and believe (from a post I saw on here?) that the procedure given for tightening headbolts is wrong.

The current one for a Rover 800 is not quite useless, but is fairly "high-level".

Have one my Dad bought for an Austin 1800...leagues better, even showing how to make special tools etc.

Bought my Land Rover CD from one of the big parts suppliers, but I'd be surprised if it's not downloadable somewhere...it's much better than Haynes (as you'd expect in any circumstance given that's what the dealers would use).

I have them all in PDF format for my 90, there is a site (I think German) that has them all on it, just had a google there but nothing jumped out at me, a cup of coffee and a a search will no doubt bring something up.

The problem with Haynes is some of the torque wrench settings are incorrect, and the new ones are just not as good quality.

I use a Haynes manual when I've run out of Rizzla.

You got a freelander now Yella?

regardless of your childish insults about my sexuality riches i agree with you that the haynes is not very good and as for your quest for a pdf on early disco 1. i wish you well as i have been after one for a good while and still i am without.

Brace ya'self riches2004x.....

I feel a tirade comin' on... over to you boys

Oh er... looks like I'm a bit late. Sorry

i never took afence, it was lenny who did it.

Thanks for the opinions. That dodgy foreign website had plenty of land rover manuals but didn't seem to have any disco manuals on it and searching the web and other forums for answers unearthed precisely fek all. I will continue the internet hunt tonight and if I find any good stuff (dicovery 1 related, that is) I will post an update.
