Title: Ford Tracer 1.3 Workshop manual
Post by: Carl Wrbka on April 23, 2008, 11:18:12 AM
Hi,

Does anybody know where I can download a workshop manual for a 1996 Ford Tracer 1.3 H/B. A manual for a Mazda Midge would probably also do as they are basically the same. I've tried Ford SA but it's been almost 3 years now and I'm still waiting for a reply. I tried googling it, but came up empty handed.

It covers most of the models.  Or even try these guys, just got their dope of the Haynes site: Interac 121 10th Avenue, City & Suburban, Johannesburg 2001 .

Must be some kind of virus going around OM that causes cars to become past tense...lol

Is it still so hard to get spares for cars in OM? I remember during the time I was there, the only option was to order them from Jowels Transport (spelling?)at the CDM motor pool and then u had to wait a heck of a long time and hope the right ones were delivered. Windscreens were a big problem. The average windscreen lasted about a year before it was so sandblasted that u could hardly see through it.
