Default Where can I find a decent Escort Service Manual?

Howdy all,

Got an Escort MKII not too long ago with which I also got a Gregory's Service Manual.

I believe its far from adequate. Does anyone know of better, more detailed publications?

Thanks

Cant remember if it contains regular stuff but I do have a book called "How To Modify Ford SOHC Engines" by David Vizhard.

Best to get hold of a genuine Ford Repair Manual. Hard to come by now, but you may find a second hand one in a motor book store or on eBay.

the genuine ford one is great,if you want one check this out... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-ESCORT-1...QQcmdZViewItem , but $65? went to the swap meet at richmond last week and picked one up for $20. Then again gregory's manuals do cost bout $45 to $50 so it would probably be worth the extra $30 in the long run.

If you don't know what to do with an Escort, then what were you doing paying for her in the first place??
