| I am looking for a service manual for my 04 Pilot and wondered if anyone out there has the Helm manual. If so, is it worth the $70? I don't mind paying more for a well diagramed and accurate manual. Any input is appreciated. |

I have the Helm manuals for my '06 Pilot and for my girlfriends '06 Civic. IMHO, it's worth it. If the manual saves you one trip to the service dept, it's paid for itself right there! You can also look up issues that you'll have the service dept fix, but, you then know what's required of them. This could help reduce the chances of them ripping you off (over charging for what you know is a simple repair).
Good luck!

| It is a great bargain. I have mine for the '03. It has paid for itself many times. I bought the electric trouble shooting manual too. It has been great for some of the strange wiring the Canadian models have too! |

Canadian wiring is just described differently in the manual. For example here is a brief exerpt:
Dis blue wire here, eh, it runs over dere, eh..........j/k :D |

There a lot of references to Canadian model then this colour wire and seat heaters. I called Helms before I bought the manual to make sure the Canadian model was covered. The dealer here wanted $200 for it. So I wasn't sure if there were 2 versions of the book.
ecsw, yes there are other things beside the DRL. The fog light hook up is also different because of the DRL, there is an extra part of the for light switch harness that connects up there.
Now you see what I mean eh? |
