WORKSHOP MANUALS

I'm a new MR2 onwner and I wondered if anyone could recommend a workshop manual. I know that a haynes manual does not exist and I have seen manuals on e-bay. Can anyone recommend a complete disc or book?
Many thanks in advance.

Type 'MR2 Roadster repair manual' into ebay and see what it brings up.

Thanks guys.I did look at e-bay. Might sound silly, but they all seemed really cheap? Can they really be a workshop manuals for that price? Not complaining, but am always being told you get what you pay for.

Have you guys bought any of them? Could you recommend one over the other to me? Or should I go to Toyota direct?
Any help would be of use.

Thanks

if you buy teh CD version they are all knock offs, as toyota didn;t produce one, thats why they are cheap

I haven't got the link at home, but Toyota do have a technical website where you gain access to manuals etc by paying a subscription.

By all counts a 24 hour subscription is quite cheap and you can download all you want in that time.

Thanks Roger,
I'll dig around and see if I can find a thread with the link.

The Toyota link is m http://www.toyota-tech.eu/ m

I have bought a couple of the eBay manuals, they were obviously ripped off, one was very good, the other pretty useless

Thanks CClarke99,
I'll try the same route and then also look at the toyoya website, so thanks.

Hi I know everyone knocks the cheap PDF ones off ebay but to be honest I thought it was the best £3.25 I ever spent! It takes a bit of getting used to to get around it but once you work that out it is packed full of excellent information. I bought a car needing loads of work and have used the manual extensively since buying it. I am not linked in any way to whoever sells them but I can only speak as I find. I know much of this stuff is available online but it would take forever to search for it all so fair play to them for pulling it all together in one place.

Point Taken,
I look at the offical Toyota manuals.
