Irritatingly, Haynes do not do a workshop manual for the S60. Any recommendations for an alternative? Electronic or paper - I don't mind.

Cheers

Billy,

No problem, I'm not holding you responsible. ;-)

It's almost certain to be better than what I have now!

A colleague of mine bought a Merc official workshop manual (on CD/DVD) from E bay and it was 100% satisfactory - you should be OK.

In a late update to this thread, I just wanted to let all S60 owners on the forum know that Haynes are finally launching a manual covering all 2WD petrol and diesel models next month!

Direct link to the page on the Haynes website, FYI.

"all 2WD petrol"

Except bi-fuel versions, for the handful of folks that might happen to have one.

Why Haynes didn't do a combined S80/V70/S60 manual in the first place (the differences between them are trivial, beyond the cosmetic), I really don't know.
