Greetings! Just purchased a fairly decent 1981 240D, and would like to undertake some of the less involved repair and maintenance tasks myself. What are your recommendations as far as a decent repair or shop manual, and which vendors seem to have the best deals and selection on parts. I have lived in the Land Rover world for several years, and know that it pays to leverage the experience of those who have been down the path. Thanks in advance.
