I bought it off eBay. There was a company that made a market out of distributing hard to get manuals and materials.
I'd send it to you but I lost that info on fatal disk drive crash some time back.
Only complaint I have with the WIS is that it was really designed for trained service repair persons. It expects you're familiar with undoing Saab connectors for instance.
For instance, I recently removed the turbo from my car. The WIS said to remove the connector a valve assembly. It didnt' warn me to peel back the rubber boot and pull out the red lock first. Also, I'm not overly impressed with the detail provided in WIS illustrations. Pictures would be better.
Result: $50 replacement valve assembly....I try to tell myself it needed replacing anyway. So, if there are on-line subscriptions for service manuals they may be a bit more user friendly for the amatuer mechanic.
