I'm after a few cars books (Haynes manual, engine tuning, plus some non-car/LR stuff) and wondered if there were any online discounted sellers like Amazon, but local? A Google hasn't turned up much of use...

Don't buy haynes if you can avoid it, they are a discusting example of literature, Gregory's are the best of a bad bunch;)

I disagree.

The Haynes manuals, like the LR workshop manuals both have their place.

I never mentioned genuine, althought that's what I use for the rover's, but also have about 40 assorted manuals for other vehicles, mainly gregory's, yet when you have to purchase a haynes, or even worse a Max ellery's you soon realise what utter crap they are

Compare the genuine manual with the haynes for a classic RR (yes I have both) and you see they photocopy every 5th page direct, atleast gregory's go to SOME effort to actually condense the information and not leave important stuff out;)

But that's just my opinion

As horrible examples, comparing factory manuals with aftermarket, my Chrysler CL ute's factory manuals were 4 volumes, some three inches thick as was the factory manual for my cook's Ford Escort, although a single volume as is the factory manual for my Falcon XH ute. The Gregorys manuals are about 16mm thick, & in the case of the Valiant, thinner than the factory manuals engine book alone.
