Title: Where can I get an Owners Manual?
Post by: gords 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

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

I bought a Discovery workshop manual a little while ago, the genuine Land Rover version at Ã‚Â£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!!!
