Question Best manual?

Hi,
was wondering what people's recommendations were for a workshop manual. I'm not likely to be doing anything inside the engine (apart from valve clearances) or gearbox, but some hints on pulling things off and getting them back on, service schedules, wiring diagram etc.
Thanks.

If you're to buy one book, the Bentley manual is excellent. Around $75 US.

Get all of the manuals you can afford. None of them are as complete as they should be, Bentley leaves out a lot of info that should be in a manual, Haynes does this as well. I bought every tech information item I could find. Books, cd's, etc.

I'd go with the Bentley and 101 Projects. And search Rennlist and Pelican for the tip sheets and how-to's. I've used these for carpet replacement, front strut brace install, roll bar install etc. These are things not covered in any manuals.
This list has been most helpful, too.
Good luck
