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.
