Hi Guys
I know we have not officially listed a post on this but I have seen stiff pop up occasionally . I want to pick up the latest edition of Pete's Book ( only the 8th is out right now Pete ? )
Since I work on my car a lot can anyone recomend any other books I could pick up from Amazon ? I have the 101 projects and the Bently. Does anyone know of any good CIS books or T/S books ? I am more interested in repair and maintanance than glossy mags.
Oh by the way Pete I need new mounts .... maybe it would be cheaper NOT to get your books .. you know what I am like with projects :-)
I took out one of the engine mounts to look at and thunk ..... I looked down and thought hmmm... maybe I should have put a jack under there ... chalk one up to experience ... at least I know the frame is straight ..... the hole lined up perfectly .. ( i remember that from a post of yours some time ago ) ...

You have the important repair books. Get a copy of the PET.
Bosch used to make a booklet on the theory of operation of the CIS.
Bruce Anderson's book is great but deals mainly with hot rodding the car.

this is the pdf stuff, almost like PET, but PET is an actuall program you install. I've put a link up before but it always get deleted. search, you'll find it.
that book up there has all the CIS and motronic stuff in there, but there is a bosch CIS specific book that I've not seen.
I wouldn't know jack if I didn't have that book.
