    Not to go off topic (well it's too late), but the best example I can give about the Bentley manual being incomplete was in removing the transmission from this car. The manual neglected to mention one important step: Removing the starter!! I read the instructions several times and was having trouble pulling the tranny apart from the block, when I looked up and saw the starter still attached. That's kind of a big thing to overlook.
    Funny, because in the removing the engine instructions, it mentions that the starter must be removed "on some models" to get the transmission out.

    But, that is the kind of thing that you get when the manual is written for technicians that work on these cars all the time. It is assumed that you know to remove the starter before pulling the transmission.
