Got my 2003 Crown Victoria / Grand Marquis / Marauder Workshop Manual in the mail today from Helm (http://helminc.com). $130, but I think it will be well worth it over the life of the car.

Now I have something interesting to read during those long winter nights! :cool:

Fourth: I was going to bug my dealer's service department for an "older" DVD for the car. I like books though (I find it very hard to get my computer set up on the front seat of the car or under the hood while I am working).

Is it worth the bucks for this one?

The book seems to be very detailed, with good diagrams and ft-lbs marked for bolts and such. The CD-ROM was something like $1400 from Helm! At those prices I think I'll stick with the book. :D

The DVD is nice, but noting beats a book as well.

If you can get an older DVD from the dealer, or a deal on eBay, it's nice to have it too

Thing I like about my DVD is no thumbing through trying to figure out all the page numbers. Just type in what you're looking for a BOOM, it's there. :D

I am thinking about buying a set of manuals for the MM. I have a complete set for the 2000 GM and CV which are probably fairly close to the 2003 MM . Although CD's are nice there is nothing like the book. John :)

jgc61sr2002 you'll be surprised how much of the 2000 infor does not apply to the 2003
