Where to find a Haynes Manual
Hi everyone, and thanks for all the help and advice given so far, i have been on here a lot since getting my first 25 recently!
I can't seem to find anywhere that sells a Haynes for an '87 diesel, does anyone know where I can get one?
Alternatively, how different is the van from petrol, as i don't have the original diesel engine in there but assume there are some other differences.
Would be great if anyone could help.

Re: Where to find a Haynes Manual
Hi - as far as I know there isn't one for the diesel, but Just Kampers do their own manual for the Diesel. Don't know how good or bad as we are all petrol and LPG.
Cheers

Re: Where to find a Haynes Manual
My advice,
Get the petrol Haynes manual for all the suspension, steering, dismantling etc stuff
Get the Just Kampers one for engine related stuff, I struggled without the Haynes manual

Re: Where to find a Haynes Manual
I think the bentley one covers standard diesel engines, but retails at £70 odd.
First lesson in T25s and vintage VWs though: avoid Just Kampers! For a company that can't stock or produce anything that either fits or has longevity I can't see them producing a manual of any merit!
(However, a couple of the how-to vids on the site for late bay window vans cross over to T25s -breaks/wheel bearings etc- and are useful )

Re: Where to find a Haynes Manual
The Just Kampers manual is a re-covered/branded and published version of "Pocket Mechanic, VW Transporter - Diesels" from Peter Russek manuals.
So I discovered when I bought it and realised I effectively already had it.
