Owners mnaual Excel

Post by Red1 »

Hi all,

Does anyone have an owners manual extra? I am looking for the 1985 model but any that is identical or almost would be nice. Thought I had one but it wasnt to be somehow.

It would make my Excel smile if she hears she will be more as she left the factory years ago... ;)

Please let me know.

Owners manual or handbook? The handbooks are available from Paul Matty cars as are the manuals (very expensive though) I found a 2nd hand handbook for my Excel on Fleabay but I had to wait around a while and it cost me £40. For an undervalued car parts and accessories are pricey!

Hi. Is there a difference between the pre '86 handbook and the the post '86 handbook? My car is an '85 (early dash shape). It came with a hand book complete with service stamps, but the handbook refers to the later shape dash and I was wondering if it was the actual handbook form my car or a replacement (No first owner info and main dealer info has been filled in).

Hi all,

I am just looking for the owners manual, the glovebox booklet. Not the grease pit bible :wink:

I have a 1985 model, older dash. I just want to know how it is all supposed to work. And how the switches adn knobs should oparate.....

Not that i havent figured it out, but it just makes it more complete.

So if there is one that wants to switch from glovebox, let me know.

Have good weekend,

Coen
