Certain repair jobs covered in this manual require the use of special equipment not normally found in a home tool kit. When such equipment is required, the equipment and its function is brought to the users attention underneath the heading for that component. Some jobs such as automatic transmission overhaul, should be left to a Holden dealer or a specialist who has the extensive knowledge and equipment required. In these cases, the removal and installation procedures are fully covered enabling the unit to be removed for repair or a reconditioned unit to be installed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInexperienced operators should not attempt a service or repair operation before completely reading the appropriate section (or other sections which may be referred to) in the manual.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr class=\"ProductSectionSeparator\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eGR246\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e0855666609\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e210x280mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eSoft Bound, b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9780855666606\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gregory's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627623760092,"sku":"9780855666606","price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b3159_Barina_1985_1988__33650.1339460205.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772083109","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/holden-barina-mb-ml-1985-1988-workshop-manual","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
