Thanks Phil, so I've got parts fiches.

Are most car limited to one fiche, as far as you know? I have just a single
fiche for every car I listed, although several have markings that could
signify there being more fiches.

That's why I bought the Haynes, too- and the German Bucheli. For the amount
of information though, they're vastly inferior to the Bentley.
I always work on the principle that you can't have enough approaches to the
same matter- and I've certainly seen some different approaches in all three
manuals. Together, I guess they cover everything.

Thanks for your comments.
