Anyone who has ever tried to relate the drawing in the handbook to the part that has come adrift behind the cylinder block on a dark, wet night will find his heart gladdened by the superbly clear drawings in a great new tome which the AA has produced. Even in the best manufacturers' handbooks I've never seen better.
Mind you, he'll need an assistant to hold the tome on the aforesaid dark wet night because it is no slim volume for the pocket, but even truck fitters (who sometimes tend to look down their noses at those who work on little vans and cars) will probably be found peering enviously at Money-saving Motoring: it is designed for the car owner, but many a van fleet operator will find useful tips in it, especially on cost-saving. Anyway, a lot of van fleet engineers also have responsibility for reps' cars — a field ripe for economies.
For something which the AA says is equivalent to the contents of 100 makers' workshop manuals you do not expect to spend peanuts; but I was surprised to find that the 296page mammoth costs only £4.20 plus 30p postage and packing to AA members. (By implication, it is not yet available to others).
