"S" Workshop Manual and Parts Book
Discussion
Hi Andrew,
The Bible, as it's known on here, aka "The TVR S Series" by Steve Heath is a handy reference for running and owning an S. The Second edition is your best bet, it's more comprehensive.
Be careful though, because not everything in.it is gospel
For more comprehensive info on the 2.8 Cologne V6, get hold of a Haynes workshop manual for either the Ford Granada 2.8 or the Capri 2.8.
For the running gear like driveshafts, brakes etc, the Sierra manual is the one.
You can pick up Haynes manuals on fleabay or at Autojumbles.
There is a parts list on this forum, click on "Useful links" at the top of the page. Tim TVRees has done a brilliant job of updating a lot of the info.

TVR Parts Manual (lots of gaps)...... Clicky
I don't believe a proper workshop manual was ever produced?
A guy called Steve Heath wrote a book "The TVR S Series" (commonly referred to as the bible) which contains a lot of useful stuff, and the odd mistake, but well worth getting your hands on a copy.
Used to be available on Amazon but looks like there is only a (very expensive) second hand first edition on there at the moment?
Get a second edition if you can, cover picture is a close up of right front corner of an S bonnet.
The Steve Heath bible is still available from http://ecumate.com/shop/index.php/cPath/23. Cheaper than used ones.

Also I noticed a Sierra Haynes manual that says it's 1982-87 and covers V6 Engines, would that cover the engine too or was a different one used in the Sierra?
Thanks.

Anything which says Ford V6 will be helpful. Sierra, Granada, Capri or Scorpio. I bought my copies for a few quid each on eBay, search around a bit, so they'll not break the bankAlso I noticed a Sierra Haynes manual that says it's 1982-87 and covers V6 Engines, would that cover the engine too or was a different one used in the Sierra?
Good to hear that you have also gone for the SH book (not Bible !), It's also a great source of information about these special cars.

Thank you for the link, mine has arrived and very pleased.Cannot believe the prices on eBay when these are still available here. Maybe people are not aware of the source.
Thanks again.
