I bought my manuals online, paper copies. I got screwed by the dvd before. I'm sure there are good ones out there, but not with my luck.

Hi I'm new here, and I just got screwed on a s80 dvd manual. Does any one know of a reputable seller of s80 repair manuals?

Purchased a Vadis DVD from Ebay as well. I wouldn't say screwed necessarily. It did work. Though the "repair" sections were rather weak. Nothing compared to my 200sx service manual. In fact it didn't even have schematics. Mostly part number searches was all it was good for. Not to mention the installation was crappy as it froze up half the time.

I will try Haynes. Thanks for the tip.

Found another site with info as well. They have to have something out there that is detailed like a factory service manual. I mean how else would the dealership troubleshoot an electrical circuit? Oh wait, I almost forgot, they just swap parts until it works then stick you with the bill for all these parts you never needed.

For those who purchased the Haynes manual, how are the electrical schematics?

Thanks, but even when I click on the S80 section there are no available service manuals. Am I doing something wrong? This site is a bit wierd. You click on a link and then it says no parts available.

Are you suggesting to google S80 manuals instead of V70?
