Haynes Manual for Mk1 Rivage
Was wondering if anyone could advise as to where, if one exists, that I could get a haynes manual for my mk1 rivage, I know very little about mechanics but was hoping to spend sometime at the weekends tinkering with my new purchase…..
also any ideas on where I could get a decentish tool kit or what tools I might need??
Thanks in advance

As for tools dont spend a fortune, i used to be an engineer spent loads, now only use them at home tinkering,have a look in local free ads paper the big yellow one comes out on wednesdays, get some basic spanners 8mm-20mm open end and a selection of ring spanners or combi ones open one end and ring the other, socket set imperial and metric and pliers long nosed and stubby nosed ones and wire cutters (just for the hell of it).If only working on your car you wont break a lot of spanners etc as long as they are a sturdy set you will be ok.
Remember if it aint broke dont fix it. :wink:

Indeed I don't intend to touch anything that doesn't need fixing, i'm more likely to break things anyway!!
Just spoke to 'ew' and he is sorting me out with a manual for a pint - good exchange me thinks!! What a legend!

Like said above get a decent quality basic tool set and add to it as and when you need anthing more specialized. Agree with Foxy about Halfords tools, their pro range is good quality and the say if you break any of them the will replace. I've broken a few and they do! I find the rachet spanners a useful set to have.

Hope this helps
Oh, get a long 1/2" bar for getting to stuff, ie drive axle bolts if usng axle stands!!
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines
