Would you buy these "manuals"? If not, which one?

Greetings All,

I really need some good technical manuals. I have the Haynes, but ya'll already know, it leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone have any experience with this CD set? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Don't buy them....I bought BMW MBZ and VW sets...still can't open them and nor can my IT guy.
They..(She.? ) said I could open it by going to SYSADMIN.exe.....trouble is, there is no SYSADMIN even when my IT guy opened the cd's menu list.

The loading error message reads :WARNING, ERROR WRITING TO UPDATE LOG. ( \\********\BHROOT\LOGFILES\***-KFTZ6alizag\UPDATE.LOG)

They are also pirated copywrite protected information from Mitchell-On-Demand.
You 'could ' be prosecuted for using the cd's...although highly unlikely.


Cavet Emptor.

.PS....eBay wrote to me to tell me I should not proceed with the transaction and if I had, ask for a refund from the seller.

I paid about $200 for a full set of printed MB service manuals that I got off ebay about a year ago.

That, plus this forum has helped me out a lot...
