Here it is, did not think it would upload to the forum web pages.
I received it a while back from David Farmer.

No flame intended, but I could never understand why someone would pay $50,000+ for an automobile and attempt to work on it without a $120 Service Manual! Am I missing something? :confused:

That's excellent, thank you.
Perhaps you or David could upload that to the tech tips section so it's more readily accessible for others to find? Someone else could do it but I think one of you two should get the credit.
