Just FYI, I recently purchased through e-bay a manual on CD which is full of very valuable information on our Discoverys. The manual is packed with many wiring diagrams and information which are in Adobe files. For example, there is actual technical information on setting the ABS units when there are ABS light issues. It certainly is worth every penny of the $30. I don't know the person, but am very stisfied with the product. He sells them by vehicle and year. You can probably do a search in e-bay on user carmanualguy to find info on your vehicle, or send him an e-mail and I'm sure he probably has it. I ordered one on a '97 disco. Many people here have been asking about wiring of the stereo and such, and that is all in there with the wire colors and all. Also, thaks DISCO WEB!! This site has been extremely valuable and helpful on my decision to purchase my disco.

I didn't buy the one from that particular guy, but I did purchase one similar from a different seller. I bought it and then sent it back for my money back. I asked beforehand in the exact terminology "Is this the British Leyland Motors/ Bentley Workshop Manual" and was told yes. I now purchased the real manual, and the CD isn't even close to what you get with the real manual, it is basically all the updates & revisions the dealer has gotten over the years, and leaves out huge gaps of needed information. I wouldn't have known that until I got the real manual.

It was also "home burned" and left open for additional files which was cute.

I will say he was nice about taking it back, although in my demand for refund I listed all the authorities in his hometown I would contact for reproducing copyrighted material and selling en-masse on ebay....

Again, my expereience wasn't with "carmanualguy" it was "ceretta".
