Has anyone ever taken the time to make an index for the bentley manual so that it is useable. Every time I grab that manual, I try to be patient, but I end up frustrated. The table of contents is so poorly laid out that I inevitably have to turn to Haynes for information. I would love to be able to find info in Bentley too. If anyone has made an index, I'd love a copy. This is the main reason I advise people to buy Haynes if they can have only one. Cya Jay Jay, for me the key to less frustration using the Bently is to forget about the table of contents... it's pretty much more trouble than it's worth... what I do is focus on the sections... like engine, cooling system, FI system, etc... then just go to the appropriate section and thumb through it... another problem is that you need to pay close attention to the model year at the bottom of the page... otherwise you'll spend a half hour reading about something that may not apply because you are reading in the wrong year.... to solve this problem I pulled the Bentley apart sheet by sheet and then rebound it in two volumes... one for my year and one for everything else.... saves space too.... then it's really easy to go to the appropriate section.... fuel injections section and don't even have to worry about year... hope this helps... Bill
