[burgo]

[Novasport]

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

[TonySR]

Maybe I should of started a seperate post so as not to clutter this thread with talk of manuals lol

[TonySR]

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...

[therealnovaboy]

[Jack]

I did pick a load of ISBN numbers from amazon earlier, was going to add in here but I suddenly stopped being such a nerd lol

[scott.parker]

Ive got shed loads of random vaux/Opel manuals, i picked up loads from second hand places for pennys, got several of mk1 Astra Belmont, cav, chevette etc..

[therealnovaboy]

so, whats the best one ?

[scott.parker]

Old blue one's with the revisions, don't get the green one's there just service books not worth the paper there printed on!

[Hobbit]

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.

[Tanya.]

Would be nice to donate it to a good home.

Not sure why one pic is sideways :confused: lol

[therealnovaboy]

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?

[mowgli]

Do any of them have a decent wiring diagram?

oddly enough, they all do....

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

[therealnovaboy]

They make sense but its far from decent. The fact its in german dosnt make life easy

[burgo]

What's the point in having all of them ? lol
why not?

[mowgli]

They make sense but its far from decent. The fact its in german dosnt make life easy
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.
