    Service Manuals

    I am in need of a service/repair manual for my 72 911. I don't know if I can afford the factory manuals, and from what I understand the Haynes manuals are no good. So that supposedly leaves the Bentley manual, which I cannot find anywhere. What am I missing? Is the Bentley out of print?

    Sadly there is not Bentley manual. Our choices are limited to the factory Manuals or Haynes (there are otehrs as well). While many want to throw stones at the Haynes manual, it is better than nothing and if you use care, it will help you through most repair issues.

    Usually the trick is to get the first set (65 to 72) so the second set is usefull. As many of us know, the second set is only an update to the stuff that changed in the first set.
