'91 740 - Which repair manual should I get? 700

As the subject says I just bought a '91 740 and was wondering what manual you think is most complete. I have read some posts that talk about the Bentley and the Haynes. I also know that Chilton makes a manual. Which one should I pick up? Thanks.

    Buy two manuals:
    -the European 940 manual from Haynes (at www.ipdusa.com)
    -the Volvo OEM wiring diagram book from volvo Tech Publications, listed in the 700/900 FAQ.
    They will together run about $60 and will save you countless hours of headaches.

    Dog,

    The Bentley is a 240 manual but since the B230F engine is the same in the 740 a lot of the information applies. The Bentely is the best motor manual I've used ... Haynes is not as complete but they publish a manual specific to the 740. I have one of those as well and it's not bad. Chilton? IMO ... a waste of time/money.
    Just my $.02
