I have both and use both, studying the procedure
in each manual before attacking something.
Luckily (if you have a rubber bumper B), they
have their own manual (75-80).

Exactly...the "specifications" section in the Bentley
manual is very interesting (and lengthy). Also all
the regular maintenance schedules and procedures
are detailed...very nice.
Get both!
