My impression of the Clymer manuals is not as good as Dave's. While
every manual has some good information and any manual is better than
none, the Clymer manuals were close to the bottom of the heap. They
tend to give only superficial coverage to most things, even though
they cover some topics in depth. If you look thru one carefully, you
will find occasional photos of parts from the wrong car, things like
Chevy brakes in a VW manual, etc.
If you find the Bentley too expensive, the Haynes is a very decent
second best, and I believe they are still in print.
