Which service manual do you recommend...?

If I was going to translate it for Chris, I would probably do the translation in sections and then merge it together with the software I have already.

Have just finished printing out the document, in 54 separate sections. Bit of a chore, but done.
Thanks for the suggestions about creating a single PDF etc., good idea.

What I have noticed while printing was just how much of this manual, despite being offered as a Series 2 (1974->) XM 2.5TD, is actually Series 1, and in some parts petrol. That's a bit shoddy, especially as they ask you to carefully choose your year and model from a long list.

However, some of the diagrams and photos are worth having, and I can cope with the French (most of the time). If it were better tailored to 2.5 and S2, I would take you up on your kind translation offer, Marc.

Can anyone let me know if the manual mentioned above touch on the diagnosing the AM6 transmission, such as the valve body / solenoids, torque converter, etc? Thanks.

Here's the link to your C5 - if you look in the notes section it gives a little more detail - these are good for general maintenance and ow to strip down certain areas and undertake repairs - but I suspect it will not go too deep into the inner workings of the gearbox - but it won't hurt to email them and ask.

The good thing is that they have a full money back guarantee if you are not satisfied - so there is nothing to loose!
