I bought a Workshop Manual from this ebay seller.
Under a tenner for a CD, a bit more for a USB stick.
Browsing it I've learnt lots of interesting things about my car. And maybe I can delve into some simple fixes myself.
I'd recommend one for all owners.
 
Thanks for that, I will get one.
No better way to understand your car and know what torque settings are required when replacing stuff.
 
Also this thread. I looked at the cardiagn site and whilst the online wiring diagrams kept saying I have ad blocking (don't think I do on that device), the "offline download" version looks fine.

I used this company a few years ago when I purchased the F Type (2017) and the manual is awesome, although then was only $40
Runs to 19,700 pages and is VIN specific so what you see is exactly your car, by model and year. Includes full wiring diagrams, build sheet. owners manual, quick start guide and even servicing history. In essence they use your VIN number and a 1 day membership of Topix which you provide and drag the lot back and compile into a searchable and indexed PDF. Procedures may have changed over the years.

The generic version like the guys are selling on CD or is freely available online to download is good and I have that too, but the one I have mixes up models and trims and is c6,500 pages, so misses a lot of detail. I use that one for quick search as it loads and searches so much faster.

Hope this helps.
