I agree completely.

It seems that I use the Bentley service manual as a guide/overview and for maintenance. However, ISTA has the specifics for bigger jobs.

I am looking to install an aftermarket rear view camera in my F34 (The Bentleys F30 manual covers the F34 too). Need to remove the boot trims and by replace the boot handle - any help appreciated.
