Does anyone possess Haynes manual # 4263 which covers V70 and S80?

http://www.amazon.com/Petrol-Diesel-Service-Repair-Manual/dp/1844258785/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1295569832&sr=8-1

I was thinking about purchasing one and need to know if it covers the S80 with 2.5T (2.5 liter, single turbo) engine. From just the description in Amazon.com, it's hard to tell what all it covers.

Thanks.

    This is a British manual, so everything is geared for right hand drivers. The engine in the S80 is the same as in the S/V70 and 850s.

    Have you ever thought of subscribing to alldatadiy.com for the same price as the manual? There, you can print pages that you want to save, and know you are getting the correct instructions for a LHD car.

    Have you looked at your local library? Many libraries subscribe to alldata, you can look to your hearts content, and then pay 10 cents for each page you want to bring home.

    PS. Why is the new price less than the used book price on Amazon? Read all of the reviews.

      I noticed that about the new vs used prices - wierd, I know, but I've seen that before on Amazon. I guess different sellers have differing opinions as to how valuable their merchandise is. Actually I saw one on ebay for a buy-it-now price of $18.xx with free shipping. Also, I did notice the reviews but the worst comments seemed to be related to the questionable power train coverage - that's why I asked the question.

      I'll check out the Alldata route. I always assumed it would be cost prohibitive and could only be justified by a 5/8* mechanic. I'll take a look.

      Thanks!
