I believe this is an illegal copy. I know of another website just like that, that was eventually taken down for copyright violations. I expect this one won't last too long, either.A1-2-A3 wrote:I never knew you could find things like that on the net for FREE??!! Can you check out any car on that site? I have spent hours and days looking for free tech info on many cars that I have had problems wth and can never find anything like that.
A legal online source of repair information is the "EBSCO Auto Repair Reference Center". It's not usually free, but as it happens my local library has some deal where I can type in my library card number and get in for free. Comes in handy but let me tell you, it's no Bentley. More like a Haynes with almost no illustrations. But, it's still pretty cool to just hop online when your friend trashes his Ford transmission and wants to see if it's a shadetree mechanic job (it ain't!!).
So check your library's website...

Yeah it's a dodgy copy on a dodgy site... everyone should own their own Bentley.... worth every penny.
