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.

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.
