Joe,
The Bentley manual is a reprint of the Factory manual. It also includes the
handbook. Go for it. The Roadster factory advertise it as being available,
suggest that you try them. Tel 800 678 8764, fax 814 446 6729,

issued factory repair manuals. Also where can the Bentley manual be sourced
from. I'm actually in Australia if that helps.
