Where can I get an Owners Manual?
« on: October 09, 2004, 22:56:37 »
I finally got my Discovery today (it's been a whole week!) and it didn't come with an owner manual.

I'm sure I can figure most stuff out, but it would be nice to have one - anyone know if they can still be obtained? (1994 300 TDi)

Also, I would like to get a decent workshop manual. Are Haynes ones any good or do Land Rover (or someone) produce a good one?

Cheers,

Gordon

I would prefer to get an original if possible, but I'll keep your offer in mind.

Actually, are you offering a copy of the owners manual or the workshop manual?

Im sure your local Landy main dealer with have access to handbooks. If not try a breakers, there are several in the back of the mags that specailise in 4X4's so theres always a chance they could get one.

I bought a Discovery workshop manual a little while ago, the genuine Land Rover version at £50 but it turned out to be a proper workshop manual for garages, so unless your a mechanic don't go for that one!

Ive got a haynes manual which has its faults but i find it fine for day to day DIY maintanence.

Don't forget those oil changes!!!

its actually a copy of the workshop manual which when compared to an original the only thing that is different is the front cover.

Ah the Discovery bible. I'd never be without mine. Got it from a Motor Factors in Derby that has a Landrover section. It was around £40. Worth every penny.

I just got a complete manual and workshop manual (Land rover) with Range Rover, Disco 2, and Defender, Tdi and TD5 for £6.50 on CD from Ebay, all works great. There others to buy and you can buy it without bidding.
Not sure about copy write mind, so i dont have a copy, and i didnt write this, and this conversation didnt take place,  :?  :?  :?
