What Bobby said .
I often find older beat up Oner's Booklets that have stains or badly creased covers, the snobby types who will never read them anyway , won't touch them so often they can be had for $10 or _less_ .
The info therin doesn't go bad because someone beat it up .
I'm a Generous Motors fanboi but , the Ford Police Cars I service all seem just fine as were the various Ford products I've owned over the decades.....
Autolite glow plugs are just *one* item they simply don't care to have any QC on .
I don't buy BOSCH ones either most of the time .
