Re: Service manual's on CD (via eBay) - any good?
Where did you get your manual (er CD)?
I had been looking for an actual book for my '02TJ but couldn't find one
(never did go to the dealership directly though).
The Cd IS cheaper....but to be quickly usable it needs to be on paper.
How many pages is it? check with a print shop. It'll probably end up
costing more than the manual itself...colour pages too?!

You need the Netscape browser. ;-)
It's as technical as you may want, is there a question you have on
your car and I'll pull a couple of pages for an example.
