Inside this volume

Known issues & a survey guide

The documented weak points for this exact model, how to inspect each, and what a proper fix costs.

Full specifications

Every published figure, engine option, and running change, with the conflicts flagged, not guessed.

Systems & maintenance

Electrical, fuel, cooling, and drivetrain, plus service schedules and torque and fluid data.

Parts & community

Where the parts are, what cross-references, and the clubs and forums that keep the model alive.

Custom Edition

Make it your car.

We fold in your year, your engine and options, your refits and modifications, your VIN, and your own car's photo on the cover. The book stops describing the car that left the factory and starts describing the one in your garage.
