I have reviewed this new book by Jon Waples of Detroit Michigan, in Issue 60 of Tee One Topics. It is a very useful collection of Shadow procedures. See www.sherbournemews.com have your credit card ready and you should have the book in 6 days! | ||

I've bought it. Excellent book for maintenance, only surpassed by your even better Tee One Topics collection. Now looking for "from the shadow's corner". (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Thank you for bringing this book to my attention. It is of great value to anyone who likes to tinker on their Shadow, and if you read this Forum you are most likely a tinkerer. The book tells you what the workshop manual assumes you should know. Also, I must mention that Jon Waples is a true gentleman. The book I received was bound incorrectly. I brought it to his attention but suggested that I will live with it because returning it for replacement from South Africa will cost me more than the book is worth. He insisted on sending me another copy anyway without me having to return the incorrect copy. Regards KC | ||

I got mine last week  So far I've just flicked through it but I can already see that it will be invaluable as I service/maintain The Old girl. As previously mentioned the Tee-One Topics are just as useful! Many thanks to the author  | ||

My copy of this esteemed tome has paid for itself already  There was I, Rolls Royce pushed ignominiously pushed into a corner of the filling station forecourt with a starter that wouldn't. Fortunately I was just returning from one of my monthly shopping trips to Belgium and I'd taken the 'Companion' along as a little light reading material. While I waited for the tow-truck to come from "Just around the corner" I idly flicked through the pages and eventually alighted on the section relating to the starter motor. The words fairly leapt from the page! Oil contamination ... of course!!! Unfortunately, to save on boot space (I've lost a lot to the 100 litre LPG tank) I'd left all my tools at home bar the supplied jack and wheel brace. Even so I jacked the car up on the right side so I could worm my way underneath and proceeded to belt seven bells out of the main power cable nut with the brace handle. It worked  and I was able to cancel the tow-truck without charge. Why be without your copy? You know it makes sense! |
