RE: Bentley's and Microfiche (was: Fault codes)

If your car already has flat doorhandles (lucky you :-) ), you should
buy the Bentley for 89-91 100/200 cars. It covers MC-1, MC-2 and 3B
(20V) engines. I've noticed that the differences between US and Euro
spec cars are marginal - every time I go to the dealer to order a part
for my US spec car I say that it's for the 200 and they have no problem
finding it on the microfiche. Only if your car doesn't have catalytic
converter there will be some differences in wiring and vacuum hose
layout.
