Whats the best manual to get?

Post by w_baker76 »

I have an 83 Moonraker and I would like to know the best manual to get. The book I have does not have the same engine set up as my Moonraker

Bentley is the best depending on your engine.

Bentley doest do the carb just injected versions, but there is a lot of cross over, still good for a lot of mechanical things. For the carb version you may be better with the Haynes manual. Or get both if you can afford.
