Ratings and reviews

Phone services don't work 100% - to read this over google books I have to be online. To scroll truth the pages takes way to long to load, as PDF I can't download ether, printing isn't possible ether. Worthless to buy

Needs to get to the subject at hand. If the sample was too wordy and barely informative, then it's more likely the book will have the same issue.

Looking for Real repair manual, Not JUST a operator instuructions! And part changing .
