I've returned every CD I've ever bought because no matter how much hype they pitch about having everything that's in the FSM, they don't. The electrical sections are usually very abbreviated and useless. For example the electrical diagnoses section of an FSM can easily be 1000 pages. The one in the cd's were like 10.

I kind of figured that those two large volumes I have , for the S10 FSM How could they possibly fit that on a cd!, with the graphics and the Docs on 700 mb disc, they get away with it because thats probably the limit thats allowed , you know what I mean?Obviously they are licensed out for just so much that can be published, and marketed, like the bare minimum!
Thanks for the reply, I think Ill look for a Honda Accord FSM, hopefully it's not in Japanese.

thx

A lot of newer cars don't even have paper manuals available anymore. Try www.helminc.com, they make a lot of OEM manuals in paper and disc form. You aren't going to get one for 20 dollars though.
I figured that, I was just looking on E-bay," Supplement "Service Repair Manual OEM , is that a part of the whole, updates to repair issues?I know what supplement m,eans, is it like an addendum is it worth $60.00?

Post the link so we can see what it is. Supplements are printed for many reasons. Mid year changes, additional engine options, all kinda stuff.
By itself it's not much use, but if you have a manual w/o the supplement(s) you want to get it depending on whether or not it applies to your vehicle.

It's applicable to any 98 - 02 accord that has the optional V6 engine. The basic shop manual must only cover the 4 cylinder engine. So you would need the V6 supplement in addition to the complete 2 volume basic set for a V6 equipped car.
If you have a 4 cylinder you'd need just this:

I Got one in my cart, I should probably remove it before E-Bay get on mye , for not buying it, If thats the case for those supplements, then I'll pass for now, I got my brother who owned a 12 bay shop for 35 years digging through his garage,He told me not to buy anything until he says otherwise, I'll let him dig in the garage for a few days.thank you for the advice, I appreciate it . have a good weekend!

How about those Bishko Combination dvd/paper repair service manuals, those worth the money? $40.00
