Workshop Manual

Belts, Plugs, Filters, Fuels, Oils, additives etc..... Told you this might morph into servicing and service items.

Workshop Manual

Post by rbgosling »

Still not got myself an Excel (taking longer than anticipated to sell my MG BGT, and that has to happen first), but doing a bit of forward planning....

I was hoping to get myself a Haynes manual, but they don't seem to do one for the Excel! Or indeed any Lotus. Does anyone else do a decent workshop manual? Failing that, I could at least do with a wiring diagram and a table of torque wrench settings for various jobs, is there a source for that?

Cheers,

Just bought a set last week - but didn't get as good a deal as Sean!

Now all I need is a car to go with it...
