Gregory Repair Manual Vx Commodore
Hey again all. Just a quick question. A few months back now i got a Gregory's manual for my 'VX' V6, The book i got covers VT,VX,VY,VZ Series,V6-V8- supercharged.
The book number is #273. I really find this book is CRAP.I mean it barley covers much for what i need it for wich is 'VX' V6, for example, I wanted to look up error codes but it only has them coverd for VT series 1.how useless for me!!

-and the rest- I have tryed looking up quiet a few things in it with not much luck.if anything it will have a very vauge rundown on what to do on a series 1 VT.Again.useless for some things. I cant remember all the issues i had with this book but when i was re-building my engine and installing it i had a fair bit of trouble with this book as it barely coverd most to do with my individual model bein VX. Reading around it seems people are very happy with this book, most the time i think they may be talking about some other gregory's manual. But maby its just me.
Is there a book on individual models ie: my car!!! Its in the bottom of the draw now because i really dont bother thinking of useing it. Anytime you just so happen to find anything even remotly what you're after and you start reading it just seems to jump into some other model of car ie: Alloytec. Again useless. I know it may not be thread-worthy over just a book but i hear good review's over book's just not mine!

I also have a Gregory's manual #273 which I bought many years ago and it only covers VT V6 (1997-1999) including supercharged. It doesn't cover any other models or even the V8, so that is strange considering the manuals are both #273. I find my manual to be quite adequate and comprehensive. It looks to me like they covered a whole lot more models in the same size book and now there is a lack of information. I often recommend Gregory's but now I will reconsider.
Try and get your hands on the Holden Workshop CD, it is excellent. Epic fail manuals bordering on dangerous. I have personally found many errors in the VP one which had a very high probability of catastrophic engine failure if the procedures were followed. One such error is with the torque settings of the rocker bolts - they have n/m and ft/lbs mixed up (from memory). If you try to torque the bolts as specified in the manual they break. They are only good for a few illustrative photo's so you can see what (whatever) looks like when it's apart imo.
Go buy the genuine holden workshop manuals that are on Ebay. They are more expensive but the information is correct and they are a ton more thorough with explanations. Epic fail manuals bordering on dangerous.

Thats my book there, it covers VT,VX,VY,VZ, when i went to purchace the book from the store it was wraped up in plastic so i couldent have a bit of a look before i brought it, i have a gregory's book for my VP wich i find excelent because it focuses on the 1 model.
I do only use the book as a guide but somethings i refer to the book for help with no luck, I live on the sunshine coast so getting stuff for cars is a pretty hard task! This was the only book i could find. Next time i go to brisbane i might have a bit of a look there for a more specific book for my model car.
