The link is for the Bentley manual, not the shop manuals.

I have been tempted to buy theses so-called 'Complete Sets' but without the updates they are not worth much. How would you know if all the updates and supplements are included ?
A wise man already said :"And should have another volume of just updates if it is complete......"
Now id anyone had a complete set of updates - that would be useful !
Or a pdf with all the updates.
Please note the EBay sellers never seem to know what updates(if any)are/are not included in their Listing.

Timco find a 2005 -2008 shop set. It will be very close to your car over all. I used one to rebuild my engines as reference material because just like you found out the 2000 to 2004 are all wrong for a 2003 or 2004. If you cant find one PM me I have the PDF version.

Back when these were in print, when you spent the $2300 for the 13 volumes, you were put on the update mailing list. There were a lot of updates for all of the manual sets, which is not unusual. My 996 set alone has over 100 separate updates.
