Detailed Ford Workshop Manual

Hi,

Does anyone know where to obtain detailed workshop manuals for a 92 bronco. I have the haynes and chiltons but they only scratch the surface of some stuff. I'm certain there must be a Ford OEM manual. On CD would be idea, free would be even better.

Cheers


Simon

Not sure for your area, but here in Utah, all of our local Library's have a really good setup on Shop Manuals for all vehicles. Some of them are even online through our local library.

LOL. I bet I went into my library and asked for a Bronco Manual they'd send me to the equestrian section. I'm in the UK so Bronco's are pretty scarce here.

Go to http://www.helminc.com/ and follow the Aftermarket DIY link. You'll find one of the best manual sets out there. They're not cheap ( $90 for the shop, $12 for wiring, etc) but they are complete. I have a set and love them.

Sorry but I got to ask. Is it an American version with the steering on the left, or a conversion with the steering on the right.

I have a friend in London that tells me stories about how some of the roads, country lanes as she calls them are so narrow that only one car at a time can fit on them, and a small car at that. I can imagine peoples reaction to you coming down the road. One thing about it, in a traffic jam, they are only speed bumbs.

Its a genuine LHD one from CA (imported it nov last year) not a RHD bodge job!

Yes some of our roads (or goat tracks as my mate from GA calls them) are narrow enough that the door mirrors hit the vegetation each side. Generally I get priority unless I meet a JCB Fastrack coming the other way. I didn't appreciate the size of it untill I was in my g/fs car (Hyundai Lantra *spits*) and pulled up nose to nose on the driveway in front of it - all I could see out the screen is chrome, grill and tyres! Now she is getting a Suzuki Alto which would easily fit in the back of a F250 Long Bed so it will swamp it. I'll post some photos after the weekend.

The height is lovely being able to see over hedges and other traffic.

Try the automotive manual section on ebay, thats where I found the manuals for my 94. At a fraction of the cost of new. If you need some diagrams let me know I don't think it's much difference in the 92-94 Bronco's

I purchased all of the factory literature that I could find for my 90 XLT. I spent close to $200 for all of it though, so be prepared to spend a few bucks. eBay is a great place to find the stuff, and once in a while you can score a good deal. Although I paid around $90 for my two volume shop manual set, and that is about the going rate, I've seen them get past everyone and somehow sell for around $20. So keep checking.

Another great place to get the stuff from is helminc.com.

You may be able to find the stuff on cd-rom, but I personally would rather have a book in front of me - although I recently set up an old computer in my garage.

Watch Ebay I picked both 1993 Truck Service manuals, EVTM manual, Wiring diagrams, ABS tech classroom manual, and 2, 6 inch thick 1993 service bulletin binders. I don't think I've spent more than a $100.00. All purchases were on various auctions and usually shipped Media Mail which is cheapest.
Nothing beats Factory manuals try to get updated version too.

I had an 88 Bronco with 33s when I was stationed in Germany. Talk about people getting out of the way in the smaller towns and villages.

Try JC Whitney or LMC both have websites. They sell official shop manuals in sets too. Generally around $150 bucks American, but is the same thing the mechanics use when they want to justify charging you $60-$80 bucks an hour to fix your stuff.
