Hello Guys,

I have a Gregory's manual and i was wondering if the leyland work shop manual is better?

The one i saw is the "Mini All Models - Comprehensive Workshop Manual" by Leyland services publication.

Thanks

I've never been a fan of the Gregory's books. Factory workshop manual all the way.

I have about 6 or 7 manuals....
The Gregorys/Scientific Publications book has less errors in than that Leyland Comprehensive `Black Book'. :lol:
I only bought the Black Book for the automatic transmission section... :wink:

Personally I don't mind the gregory's. I use it "in tandem" with the black book and IMHO they work well together.

Oh yeah .... and the Mini King part catalogue is a MUST!

i use haynes, gregory's and the black book, in no particular order.. usually whichever is less buried on the work bench.

I have 2 or 3, I find I don't always understand or can find what I want in one so I look in the others
