 Autodata Car Repair Manuals
show THE BEST way to DO-IT-YOURSELF
The emphasis in th is Autooata car repair manual is on all the maintenance and
repair operations that the DIY motorist is likely to tackle - even for the first
~ime1 Step "by step instructions are given in easy-to-understand language with
'~lea': line drawings illustrating how each service or repair operation is carried out,
0'· ~ ••

Carry out a complete service on your car

Autodata devote a complete chapter to this very important subject. Checking the fan belt, lubrication. brake
adjustment, wheels and tyres, service schedules, etc - all items to be checked on a regular basis.

Tune up for maximum performance and economy

Poor starting, lack of performance or heavy fuel consumption. All these problems can be rorted out and
cured by following the comprehensive Tune-Up chapter.

Engine repair and overhaul

All you need to know about checking. diagnosing, repairing and overhauling the engine. From minor repairs
like oil seal replacement and fitting a new oil pump to removing the engine and rebuilding it.
Fitting accessories
Here you'll find details on the fitting of a baby seat or child harness, tow bar and lighting socket. Also
covered is the installation of a radio or tape player and speakeds), suppression and much more.

Tackle steering I suspension and brake repairs

The manual helps you identify faults that can develop in the car's steering, suspension and braking systems
and explains how they can be rectified quickly and cheaply.
Pass the MoT first time
Once a year the MoT test falls due for vehicles three years old or more. You pay whether the car passes or
fails, so it makes sense to know what the test~r is looking for. This manual will show you how.
Plus: electrics- body- clutch - gearbox - and more!
There are other chapters devoted to the electrical components, body fittings, clutch, gearbox, fuel system,
cooling and automatic transmission where fitted. There are pages showing all the relevant data, tightening
torques, trouble shooters and wiring diagrams. The double page contents guide is cross·referenced with an
alphabetical index enabling you to quickly find your way to the service or repair operation required.

U To my mind, Autodata Car Repair Manuals are a valuable aid to the

conscientious motorist who takes the job of looking after his car seriously. "
