    Recommended Manuals?

    I'm looking for an Owner's (glovebox) Manual and a workshop manual for my Series III. Any suggestions?

      Our hosts sell both the owners manual and the shop manual (the green bible). Other possible sources are E-bay for used and Amazon for both new and used. After trying to cheap it out by buying CDs and other shop manuals I finally gave up and got the real thing. Far superior to anything else short of the advice of experience you gain here.

          Amen to the above. Take a pass on the Haynes manual. It stinks.

              What is wrong with the CD version (aside from needing a good print quality printer)? I would image that the content is the exact same (pictures, descriptions, steps, etc...)?

                  The CD is copy write protected so you can't simply print pages that you need for a project, get them all greasy and then pitch them. That is what I had planned on doing and boy was I wrong. You can bring your laptop into the garage and get that all crappy if you want to. Glad I got the green bible. Wish I had done it right the first time and I would saved myself about $40 for the CD and $25 or so for the Haynes manual.

                      plus the cd does not work with apple products

                      spend the extra and get the paper manual, a greasy manual is a good thing, a greasy laptop is bad do you really want to get a $1000 + laptop greasy

                          I would buy the green bible and the parts catalog. I purchased the cd and do not think it is worth a damn and rarely use it. Constantly use my Green Bible and old Rovers North Catalog.
