Book(s) Review

Post by DiscoDino »

Well, Since I will be running for competitions regionally in the near future, and hopefully on an international scale should $ become available, I decided to invest in my mind, rather than my balls for once, and here is what I thought:

Winching in Safety (official LR publication): 7/10

Nice book, a 3 hour reading. Quite out-dated, deals with teh 'new' Superwinch Husky, but has all the basic winching needs and so forth. I liked the technical aspects. For how much I got it for, it was not a waste of money. Needs to be updated.

Official LR Discovery Parts Catalogue: 10/10

Loved it!...Wow, these should come standard with every LR product. At ~40 UK pounds, i think that it is definitely worth it, and can be used to cross reference parts between different Land Rover products, and the cheaper, and often better Delco, GM...

Official LR Discovery workshop manual: 8/10

Eventhough it does have alot of info and does take things into detail and so forth, I was kind of dissappointed. It did not reveal any 'trade secrets'. It is scary to think that the LR dealers use basically this to work on our trucks ,since it is all so simple. HOWEVER, this also notes how simple these trucks are, and that we do not need anything mroe detailed, since that is all there is...worth the money for sure.

I still have one book to go for, and will update accordingly.

Hope this proves helpful...

Cheers
