Workshop Manual

[Donkeyoaty]

I have been researching which one to get for my 1999 2.8
I like Haynes manuals, but they only go up to 1998 for my model (I don't know what changed in 1999)
If its nothing significant, would it be worth me getting one?

Other than that I read about "Bentley" manuals. They cost an arm and a leg! Are they worth investing in?
Look forward to any advice.

I have always found Bentley manuals about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, whenever you get to something where you really need information, they say take it to a dealer. The Bentley manual is expensive but is very comprehensive.

I payed an arm and a leg few years ago, when I bought the Zed, thinking that I have to manage with my own forces in case of a failure; it's still a collectible Zed related , but the forum and the internet are much more useful at anytime, so don't insist.

Agree with @Zeti, the internet and forums are an invaluable tool, there are online TIS manuals you can get access too. I have owned Z3s since 2008, I like to pretend I am OK with the spanners and do not have a Bently manual.

I have the Bentley manual, It is good but not 100% correct in some cases. But like Brian said the information on the forums is a lot better.

Bentley for me, backed up by info on this forum and the internet.
If you come to sell it on in the future you will find that it will have a good resale value.

Very rarely does the Bentley come out the draw for a read, but it's definitely better detail that any Haynes I've ever looked at.

I have two Bentley books if anyone needs one. 96-98 only, what do they sell for these days? JIM
