The 'correct' manuals for the H and 2H are like rocking-horse ****.
You could try Toyota themselves - for a larf - but you never know - and
who knows, you might be able to pick yourself up after they tell you a
price.
I 'had' a factory manual for a 2H - the whole shootin match for a HJ60.
I let it go with the car. Dunno where the thing is now.
Bugger. I've gotta learn one day not to cast pearls before swine.
I'll ask around re the "H" manual - might be a while for a result, though.
