Looking for the best manual (English shop manual) Australia?

[jaime]

Well after months of waiting my Delica is finally here. What a perfect vehicle!!! I've spent the last couple of weeks getting used to it and now I want to make it last forever. Unfortunately to do this I need a manual and I am wondering where to find the holy grail of Delica manuals. I've seen one which was very small and unappealing and would like some input on what other options are out there. My father in law is in Australia for the next two months and I was wondering if you can get a good one down under.

I have looked at some of the online support and found it useful but I am old fashioned when it comes to working on cars and love to have a manual laying beside when I am greasy and under the hood, or seat as in the Delica.
Thanks
Jaime

Hi Jaime,

I haven't had a chance to go over it myself but it's been asked before and the "L300 Russek mechanics workshop/repair manual" seems to be the winner...

You can look it up/order at this link:
http://www.click2add.co.uk/index.html?t ... pt_49.html

And also get there by going on the UK site:
http://www.mdocuk.co.uk/

You might find help on the Australian site:
http://www.delicaclub.com/

And http://www.delicashop.com/ have a manual but it's seems to be the owner's manual (which tells you how to put the heat on...not how to fix it) I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure so check it out...

Good luck,

I noticed Japanoid is selling shop manuals for 75.

There is a good selection of manuals on our wiki:

Thanks a lot. Those pdfs look much better than the pictures I've seen in a couple of manuals. I really liked the Delica options one. I wish I could have picked mine up brand new off the lot and had the chance to choose my options.
Thanks again
Jaime
