Is there a manual / book available that is good for early bug build up diagrams / torque settings etc. I see that Haynes manuals do two, a 54-74 1200cc and a 55-75 1300-1500 version. I take it for the Oval's both books are going to be pretty similar? Or is there a better book out there? thanks

Just go to Amazon.co.uk and paste this into the search box: Volkswagen Workshop Manual: Types 11, 14, and 15 : 1952-1957 They're not cheap but you know the adage; buy the best and cry once.

Great, done that thanks. Didn't know that specific one was back in print. That's solve loads of queries then.
