If you have an Oz Mini I would avoid the Haynes manuals. Too many body etc differences to ours. I have a whole bunch of local ones, including BMC Red Book, Gregorys/Scientific Publications #64 (roundnose) and #02 (Clubby), and the Leyland Black Book (1976). Also Intereurope #148 (with Oz supplement). The Leyland Black book is still in print, is around $70 from www.pitstop.net.au. There is a concise one too for a bit less dosh.

And ok as a supplement, but I'd suggest you have a look around 2nd hand bookshops for the Gregory's/Scientific Publications one if you can't afford the factory one. The original SP is quite good IMO. |

I find the black book very helpful, more so than the BMC red book, have a dig around the swap-meets , picked mine up for $15.00 . |

Check out your local library. Mine had the Black Leyland one, Gregorys and the Haynes. |

Is there a blue one? the factory one I always use is dark blue (it has all the yellow factory addendums and modifications as well). Or am i being colour anal retentive? My own is British Leyland manual AKD 4935 (5th edition) with Australian revision throughout. 230 odd pages. |

The problem with the red BMC one is it's dated about 1965. If your car is later I'd avoid it.
