There is a mk2 bentley manual on ebay at the moment.
The barrel is a very difficuly/easy job depending on year.
Early models, the barrel will come straight off, on later models, there is a sleeve on the steering column that will need to be removed. This is very difficult to remove without a puller.

Just for interest, I have both green and red manuals. They contradict one another in the section on adjusting your CO content (Digifant models). One states to turn the adjusting screw clockwise and the other states turn it anti-clockwise. I was trying to reduce my CO content using the instructions in the green manual and ended up with a CO content of 8.5% (should be 1%). Only realised the mistake when my car was running sh..e and I borrowed my neighbours CO analyser. I bought the red book recently on ebay for about £7.00, it certainly is a lot thinner than the green one.

Interesting....what exactly is the difference between these two coloured editions please anyone?

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

I have a spare mk2 manual (the red one) it's pretty tatty. Give us a £5 for it. That should cover the postage easily.

PM me your address and I'll get it over to you.

Cheers, sal.

just remember to put the key in the off position to remove after drilling the hole otherwise you spend hours swearing trying to pull it with the key in the on position and then it takes two seconds in the off position, how do i know that i wonder???

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

i think the red one is just basically a scaled down edition that caters generally for all models, the green one seems to have more detailed digrams etc and go into some more detail on fault findong and testing etc
