Best repair and maintenance manuals?

[Crunchy]

I want to start servicing grumpy's older prado myself as totally fed up with getting ripped off by dodgey ass service centres.

Looking at different manuals available there seems to be Gregories and Max Ellery's available for my model at *&^%cheap, but they are sealed so you can't see before you buy, which are the better of those two brands?

Also you can get CD manuals on fleebay for as little as $10, are they any good?

I did the oil & air filter change myself the other day and it was so piss easy I'm kicking myself for paying so much over the years for others to do such basic maintenance! Next will be diffs, transfer case, plugs etc.

Cheers
