I went to Repco and got one for the RA60. It doesn't even have my engine in it! Doesn't really matter I guess, they all seem pretty similair however it means you cant really rely on it for anything. I just use to to help me take the car apart.

They're not THAT bad. Not bad for $35. True, the way everything references to everything else is annoying (can't do a job without it refering to somehwere else that referes to somehwere else). The manual we get is based on LHD cars, so some things are different. Anyone with a 22RE, keep in mind that we have the '85 shortdeck engine but with the earlier analog EFI the US had 'till '84. There are a few mistakes, too. The EFI diagnostic connector is NOT near the ign coil on a 22RE!!!
Apparently they USED to make sperate books for the separate generations, and these are supposed to be superior to the "all in one RWD" book. Of course a workshop manual would be much better, but they arn't that easy to find and cost $$$
Dragunov_RA60 - the 21R-C should be pretty similar to the 20R.

i didn't even know that a gregories existed for a 28... i tried to find one and the dude pulled out his list and said.. nup, dont make em
so i borrowed from the library a haynes i think... was useles... it said all models 74-77 icl liftback and GT!!!
i saw no 18rg in there... not even a 2tg or 3tg! and only 2 references to the liftback!!
so i photocopied what i needed- wiring diagrams and pull-down diagrams... then returned the book to my library... all free!!

I've got a manual, not sure what brand it is and it's for all RWD cars including fuel injected ones and carby's. what's even worse it's based on the American models which had all the poloution crap on them that we don't have so it talks about that for ages. And it will say about something on the drivers side so you have to remind yourself that it's in reverse.
I've got an acutual manual for the 18R but I haven't had a chance to look through that to see if it's any good.
