    Try eBay.

    Someone mentioned Ebay. Whatever you do, get a factory service manual, do
    not, under any circumstances get a Hayes or Chilton's manual--a phonebook
    will give you more correct instruction.

  4. Anyone have experience with the manuals on CD?

    Yes, a version I own for a Mitsubishi appears to be an exact duplicate of
    the FSM that was scanned into Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The CD_ROM version
    affords the ability to do a quick keyword search on a section of the entire
    document. Once you have the procedure or area of the manual identified, you
    can always send the relevant pages to a printer. An if you get the printed
    pages greasy while doing the job, you can toss the printout and get another
    when you need it. The price was right too at about $30 a couple years back
    as I recall.

    Yes, ebay is the best solution. Get a factory service manual. For some
    reason (I can't imagine why), these are cheap on ebay. It's the only cheap
    thing I've seen on there.

    I have a CD version of a Ford FSM. I don't care for it. It isn't
    particularly easy to navigate, and the index sucks as compared to their
    paper offerings. I tend to rely more on a manual from an older car than this
    CD.

    On the positive side it includes information on ALL 2000 model year
    passenger cars, and it did only cost $30.


    If it was just a scanned in PDF, I'd be happy with that.
