Default S90 manual - the book

They're sometimes a bit confusing, but I always have a Haynes Manual for vehicles i own - my bookshelf has some sad editions - Haynes don't seem to publish a specific one for S90/V90/960, so did they ever? or is there an alternative? I have a 740/760 one.

Haynes do not produce on fro the 90-Series cars ( and at the last count do not intend to publish one).

The alternative is the CHILTON manual 72302 which covers all Coupe/Sedan/Wagon models for 240, 7xx, 850, 9xx, C70, S70, S90, V70 and V90 including Cross Country.

Chilton is the Haynes outlet in the States so the book is full of Americanisms to name and describe the parts. Presentation order and grouping of sections is quite different from the UK Haynes books.

You can get the book from Amazon. ISBN is 0-8019-909505. Mine cost £16.25 including delivery in 2003.

It may be worth noting that the spect for the cars in the US may also be different to those in the UK/European markets.
Due to emmissions etc.
