mel64 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 :-S A friend has purchased a 1988 Auto-sleeper with an 1972cc petrol engine. Would it still be possible to get a Hayes type book for the engine. Any help would make look good (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Haynes never did a manual for the Talbot Express. Peter Russek books do a small manual that gives good detail on all of the vehicle including the engine. The print quality is poor but the information is good. D.

mikey72 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Don't know if it helps but I had the same year Ducato. With a few minor ancillary differences the Peugeot 505 manual covered the petrol engine in mine, the XN1A 1971cc. I had the book from the library for about 3 years, then they gave it me.

BGD Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I've bought the Peter Russek one for my Peugeot J5 van base - as mentioned above, the print quality is poor (in fact so poor that some of the wiring diagrams are impossible to read), but it contains all the essential strip/down/overhaul stuff and all the settings/gaps etc that a competent DIY mechanic needs. It won't tell you the idiot stuff like how to change a windscreen wiper, but it will tell you exactly how to replace the head-gasket etc. For spares etc, don't forget also that the Talbot Express chassis-cab and engine is the same as the Puegeot J5 and the Citroen C25; the 3 vans were all made on the same assembly line by PSA (in Portugal, if memory serves), after Peugeot swallowed Citroen, and then the Talbot brand; they were just badged differently.
