    Defender Workshop Manual

    I am trying to find where I can buy a workshop manual for my MY2010 Defender.

    Plenty of places, including this forum have CDs but I would prefer a hardcopy manual. Something I can have in the truck when I am doing things.

    Any clues ?

    I started to hard copy my Puma workshop manual when I first downloaded it a couple of years ago, then gave up. Your rear storage area may be able to contain the folders of A4 paper it involves. the old TDI 2 manual thing is long gone,I'm sorry to say. It would take about 4-5 A4 files to fit the Puma manual,unless you have very very good eyesight

    Regards, Allan

    as above, new manuals are american friendly and thus have lots of pretty pictures.

    besides the Ford Defender falls into the class of vehicle that is ment to be part swap repaired, not "fixed"

    Don't blame me I didn't start it . I just fully support, condone and encourage the use of the precedent naming convention.

    I'd be interested in the hard copy for my 2012 model if one even exists?
    I've got soft copies of the 1000+ pages for my Nissan 300zx, which is cumbersome, but when you are swinging a spanner, I'd always prefer to turn a page with grubby hands then use the mouse.

    On my other FSM's, the fingerprints are like the bookmarks for all the sections that I've worked on!

    Although, It would be good to see if someone has a new link for the electronic copies.

    Cool

    To the OP...

    Printing it out isn't that hard.

    First, save it as a PDF, keep it on a USB stick.

    I printed mine onto A4, landscape, print on both sides and did it like a book. The colour pictures of the relevant elements are superb, although I do fined the way it's indexed appalling and hard to find the page that I want...but hey ho, it's all in there.

    I printed mine out at work then took it to OfficeWorks for hole punching and binding but they messed up the position of the holes so they printed it all again for me for free. Jolly good of them. It lives in the car and has come to my rescue on plenty of occasions when I wasn't able to access a soft copy....includes notes and also contains some interesting soil/ dust/ dirt/ oil/ grease samples from various repairs I've needed for while in the bush.
