can someone tell the difference between a original workshop manual and workshop supplement, the supplement seems to have a similar amount of pages, Im looking to buy a manual and have found a few supplements on line.

The parent book for the series was the HK Mechanical Shop manual, and the other series after that were handled with supplements. The original set was: 1/ HK Series Shop Manual, Mechanical. Part number M35954 2/ HK Series Shop Manual, Body and Sheet metal, Part Number M36453 3/ HK Series Monaro and Brougham Supplement, Body and Mechanical Shop Manual, Part number M36572 4/ HT Series Shop Manual Supplement, Part Number M36667. 5/ HT + HG Series Shop Manual Supplement, Part Number M36667. (!) I believe there is also a version of 1/ above with the supplements included, but I've never seen it. Edited by user Sunday, 19 July 2015 9:38:41 PM(UTC)

Yes Geoff, that version with the supplements included is a later print, I believe done in the 90s. You are correct about the same part number (M36667) being used for the 2 different HT (& HG) supplements. The only difference is a few extra pages added to the rear of the manual mainly dealing with the ADR Compliance plate. Otherwise the 2 are identical. Dr Terry |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Depending on how much you want to spend, this might be an option for item 3: http://r.ebay.com/e7COu3
Be warned, they do go for crazy money. Item 2 is a "nice to have", and not essential.

I have three of the 1990s green reprints with 1+2+3+5
I bought my first one back when they were new. Wrecked it, and the car I was working on. In the naughties I picked up a few on eBay just as they started to get hard to get.
