Haynes Repair manual

I'm pretty disappointed that they don't make manuals for GD3's. And GD's has been here for quite sometime now. It's ok if you have warranties but there's a time you definitely need a repair manual.

I never thought of Helm but it seems that my local parts store only carry Haynes. I feel a little uncomfortable ordering anything online that's the thing.

There is probably a order form for Helm in your owners manual if you don't want to order on line, you can get one from your dealer, or order from Helm by telephone http://www.helminc.com/helm/about_co...46F&Style=helm .

Having tried to use Haynes manuals in the past, I can tell you don't waste your money. The Helms is 1002% better - it's the exact same manual the dealer uses.

Less than $60 before tax/s&h at the official Helms site. Just look for the 2007 version.

Check your local library web page.
The Richmond library www.yourlibrary.ca links to EBSCO auto repair reference centre and you can download the circuit diagrams

We have more than a hunbdred shop manuals in our shop bookshelf; most were ordered from Helm because they have the contracts and do not divuklge to Haynes. weve never had a problem with Helms and they are the official manuals.

I finally picked up one of the Helms manuals from another Freak that is into some other car now... It's a good one.

We have over 100 factory manuals and almost all are Helms. The manufacturers 'farmed out' the printing because Helms is less costly.
