I have one I got from Ron some time ago. It is better than nothing but much of the contents are for UK models and the wiring diagram print quality makes the wiring diagrams all but useless. Torque values are given and the illustrations are helpful. There are somewhat brief descriptions of most procedures. Syncro and diesel models are not covered. Not as good overall has a Haynes book IMO but Haynes does not cover waterboxers AFAIK.
