Default Workshop Manual

Can anyone recommend a good workshop manual please? I do all my own work on my motorcycles referring to a Haynes manual (uk) and was wondering if there is an equivalet for the 964. I know there is enough information here to do most things, but having it in an easy to refer to guide would be useful :-)

Cheers
Simon

People are reminded that the WS Manuals are material that is copyright by Porsche so can't be distributed here (they have more lawyers than we do!).

Thanks.

FWIW I saw a craiglist ad for a set of workshop manuals. It's in the "Official Craigslist Thread".

No problem.

It is true they have been there a long time - I have deleted that link many times.

There are some secondary books that I recommend published by Bentley Publishers including two titles by Adrian Strather. I can get the titles if someone else doesn't post them first.

Also, go to pcarworkshop.com and you can download all of the factory TSB's posted by Rennlist member Geolab.
Thanks for the info. The names of the Bentley Publsher books would be great.

Cheers
