Advice on books and/or manuals

[Speedchop]

Gents,
I posted this Q in the general thread without success so I'm hoping on you guys!

I'm looking for a good book or a (repair/workshop) manual which thoroughly covers TVR or Rover EFI models. I'm doing some mods to a Chim 400 HC (MS II engine mgmt) and I need wiring diagrams and flow diagrams etc to identify sensors etc.

Does anyone have any good tips on what to buy?

Thanks in advance/ Jonas

The 2nd edition of Steve Heaths book is a good starting point.

Ok thanks!
What is the name of the book and where can I get my hands on one? I'm ok buying online (which would help cos I'm in Sweden..).

BTW: are there any workshop manuals around? Does the RV8 EFI manuals work or are there big differencies? If anyone has one to offer it would be highly appreciated...

Thanks/ Jonas

Steve Heath's book is available from the TVRCC shop

http://www.tvrcc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/TVRCC_Catalog...HistoriesCollectors_Guides_34.html

I think you can access that area without being a member.

Thanks for the link! I've already ordered it

Might be worth getting a "Haynes Manual" for the appropriate Range Rover?

Usually plenty cheap on Ebay

Phillpot: Sorry for my ignorance but what would be a good Range to have as a reference so that i get the right EFI?? Mine is a Chim -99 Serp...

Thanks/ Jonas

Chimaera uses a Range Rover EFI engine doesn't it ?

I imagine the Haynes book would have wiring diagrams and information on fuel system, engine stripping, re-building, fault finding etc?

Ok, I was under the impression that here were different EFIs around... Lucas or Bosch or.. I dunno but I'll be happy to take advice on it!

Cheers/ Jonas

That must be quite some mag to make you do that, such a shame for the brown paper bag!

The brown paper bag is for the passeneger and the Mag for me
