Wonderful, thank you for both!

Ironic, how each passing year, tasks are more and more complicated... party why I still have an 06 manual Ford Focus...

And searching for the section shows all the references and the one actual target.

If you are interested in info about your vehicle is can be useful, but its use is very cumbersome.
Oh yeah, it definitely takes a while to wrap your head around 12k pages. The search bar is slow but, once you figure out a search term that's specific enough to the issue you're dealing with, it's not too bad. It's a combination of learning the language that they use for specific parts and features and picking the right term.

Maybe I cant search, but I couldn't find chapters on auxiliary radiator operation on P300.
Like it doesn't exist.

When you enter a search, give it 2 minutes to get through. It will look like it's done but it's just very very slow on most phones.

try "radiator" "engine cooling" and I'll try to look later too. It's definitely in there. I've seen it before.

I got my L663 Defender workshop manual from workshopmanuals.org, and it’s been a reliable source. I saw the one from easymanuals.co.uk, but I wasn’t sure about its completeness, so I went with the workshop manual I got from workshopmanuals.org instead.

The complete shop manuals for the P300 & P400 are both available on this forum to download.

I’ve bought a few digital manuals over the years, and some of those cheap sites are hit‑or‑miss. A legit workshop manuals for the L663 isn’t usually that cheap, so $20 makes me suspicious. Sometimes they’re just repackaged PDFs pulled from who‑knows‑where. For the Defender, most of the global documentation is the same, but North American models can have slight differences in emissions and wiring

Hard to do better than free.

The workshop manuals linked in this thread and hosted by @_Allegedly have been, and continue to be an incredible resource.

Thousands and thousands of pages. Beautiful illustrations and a gripping read.
