INTRODUCTION

This do~it~yourself Workshop Manual has been specially written for the owner who wishes to maintain his car in first class condition and to carry out his own servicing and repairs. Considerable savings on garage charges can be made, and one can drive in safety and confidence knowing the work has been done

Comprehensive step-by-step instructions and illustrations are given on all dismantling, overhauling and assembling operations. Certain assemblies require the use of expensive special tools, the purchase of which would be unjustified. In these cases information is included but the reader is recommended to hand She unit to the agent for attention.

Throughout the Manual hints and tips are included which will be found valuable, and there is an easy to follow fault diagnosis at the end of each chapter.

Whilst every care has been taken to ensure correctness of information it is obviously not possible to guarantee complete freedom from errors or to accept liability arising from such errors or omissions.
 
Instructions may refer to the righthand or lefthand sides of the vehicle or the observer . These are the same as the righthand or lefthand of an observer standing behind the car and looking forward.
