Morning

I jusy wondered if there is anything out there equivalent to either of the above manuals? I found the 165 Chiltern combined with guides from the clubs and associated sites extremely valuable for almost all jobs.

Karl, unfortunately there is no equivalent of the Haynes or Chilton manuals for the ST205. I've got the Chilton manual which covers the US spec AT200 with the 5S-FE 2164cc or 7A-FE 1762cc engines but I've never found it particularly helpful.

My advice would be to either buy the Toyota BGB (Big Green Book) plus ST205 supplements for all the chassis info and related BBB (Big Blue Book) for the engine plus supplements. Some of them can be downloaded from a web site. I've never done this myself so can't give you an address but Two-oh-five might be able to help. The official Toyota manuals are pretty good.

<Anorak mode ON>JP, the ST205 chassis manual and related supplements are still green. The blue books are only engine related. </Anorak mode OFF>..... :lol:

Is this the Mitchell disk? If so, it's of limited value...

By far the best material I've seen is the Toyota BGB, (or BBB - coutesy of geeky Don), as you would expect.
