Can anyone recomend a good DIY repair manual.
Thanks

 

Gen 1 Bentleys
Gen 2 nothing (above has many common components)

 

Yes the Bentley Manual seems to be the best. I've had alot of people that have gotten them and loved it.

Haynes also has a manual for the GEN1

altho poopoo'd by many, those of with classics have found the Haynes very very useful and strangely I've answered many a question here abouts via the Haynes that no Bentley owner has touched .... not that the Bentley ain't good, just it seems that many owners find it so itimidating that they don't actually open it. One advantage of the Haynes if you own several is that they are all arranged the same .... don't know if that applies to Bentley or not. Never bought one.

For routine stuff and most home doable stuff the Haynes seems to be plenty.

 

I don't have a Bentley....yet. As of now, I've used my Hayne's since 2003 for my BMW sourced MINIs. I even used the Haynes Classic manual as well when I owned my classic Minis. The Haynes has enough info for me to figure out what I need to do. But, the more manuals you have, the better. So is the case with my 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. I have a Hayne's and Chilton's manual. Between the two, I have a lot of knowledge for repairs. You might want to go with the Bentley as your first manual, but the Hayne's is decent.

 

Bentley seems to have more detail

 

I too am like Fatherdeth the Haynes has enough info for me the Bentley is very nice and has a ton of info but to me it is just that too much info all I need is a general idea and torque specs.
