There is a red/orange version with a black Nova on the front. I actually went to view that particular Nova about 18 months ago and although externally it was tidy & low mileage, the rot was setting in :(

I have that one too. It is a Vauxhall branded Haynes manual that was sold through dealers, the same as the blue one already posted earlier

That modifying Haynes manual isn't really helpful when servicing or repairing a Nova, so I didn't include it.

I have a Halfords manual for a Nova. I'll get a pic tomorrow...

I have a Haynes carb manual, has exploded views of DCOE's and a size guide for jets. Plus loads of other useful info. Got it free with a set of twin 40's. Probably quiet useful for some one that has a clue about carbs lol Will grab a pic later.

They should make a manual with all the torque settings, all the wiring diagrams, all the valve size, piston size, gear ratios ect and how to set the position of the gear stick. thats all you need, all the rest is useless information.

Do any of them have a decent wiring diagram?

you just need to get your head around their system of drawing & its a doddle

so you have to learn a few german words...google translate is your friend there...

and using the correct year diagram, you soon see that the wiring has an ordered system to it.
