5.0 out of 5 stars Not for all Cougars!, June 13, 2000

By	"boss_cougar" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

Do not purchase this book if you drive a '95 thru '98 Mercury Cougar. This manual does not have information on the 3.8L V6 or the 4.6L V8. Nor does it have information on the respective car's transmissions. This book ONLY convers '99 and '00 Cougars. The book you're looking for is "JC WHITNEY - CHILTON REPAIR MANUAL FOR 83-96 THUNDERBIRD, COUGAR."

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, October 30, 2000

By A Customer

This book offers some very helpful insights for do-it-yourself car repair. The fuse and wiring diagrams are excellent, and the steps are easy to follow. I actually think this book is a much better value than the owner's manual I got with my 97 Contour. Some of the jobs in the book are not for beginners, however, and there is no list of the tools you will need before starting each job, but generally, this is a great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a Chilton manual so... well, you know what it's for., November 30, 2001

By	Christopher Wanko "-C" (Nutley, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

If you can't afford the Mercury factory service manuals, buy
the Chilton's guide and get some of your auto repairs done
yourself. It isn't an FSM - no Chilton's manual compares
to an FSM - but it's better on avergae than Haynes' guides and
it won't get you into deep water without ample warnings.
