Default Service Manuals

I recently purchased a 2001 convertible, and I need to get a quality service manual. I've seen a few on CD offered up on E-bay, but don't have any experience with that medium. I've always been a page turner. Anyone have any feedback, good or bad, on the manuals available on CD?

Thanks

I've never tried them, but 50resto.com might have the printed ones.

For crying out loud don't buy a manual on CD. Not that they're bad, but why waste money if something is readily available in the undernet.

Go here, www.emule-project.net, download, install, run and connect to a server (Razorback 2.0 is excellent). Now do a search for FSM, that's Ford Service Manual. Double click to download. Then go to the site that dude gave you and look up the names of manuals, do a search on those names, you will find them.

Choose to keep the one you like the best, dump the rest, and if you like what you see buy a copy within 30 days of the intial download. [:'(]

As far as pages goes, there is Chilton's and Haynes. I personally find Haynes better, some people find Chilton's better. Go to your local auto parts store, they'll have them and you can compare. Those are also avalable at amazon and barns n nobble.
