Default Is there an S2000 workshop manual????

Is there such a thing?? I know the guys over in the States have the Helms manual, but do we have a haynes manual or something similar????
I've got a workshop CD but it's major 'crap' so do I have to order a Helms manual or can I get something else?!?!?!?

No only the helms.

I've found the workshop CD to be very good - provided you've enough experience to take on the job you want to do, it does have the S2000 specific info you need.

If you need a more Haynes like manual, buy the Helms. For most jobs, just checking the RHD/LHD differences in the UK workshop manual will give you all the extra info you need.

OK' I guess I am being a bit picky with the CD, mainly out of my own ignorance and lack of knowlage using itSo 'CRAP' is a bit harsh, but I do find it easier using the old book style Haynes manuals instead.

I'm going to the States in September so if anyone else like me who 'Ain't no Bill Gates' wants me to bring them back a copy just let me know.

I have inherited a workshop manual which looks ok to my eyes. Not used in anger yet tho'. Andrew, as you may know there are some useful tips on the US 'under the hood' thread - which strangely enough isn't about the inner workings of the Ku Klux Klan but about doing mods. There's a good thread about changing brake pads which is a must for anyone fancying a track thrash, as the standard Honda pads fade under repeated heavy application and anyway there are better ones out there for street use.

Where do I get a workshop manual CD? And is it expensive?

Hi Rog, to get a copy of the disc you hassle your local dealer until he is close to tears and sells it to you out of shear desperation or at least thats what I did and it cost me

AE, sorry not to reply sooner, out on emergency upgrade from Win98 to XP Home for the local village shop. Not straightforward and not helped by their stock of rather excellent Shiraz

Yes please. See you on Arran!

Andy, shame I won't get to hassle my dealer. Arsie by name ...

Cheers,
Rog
