Source for a Useable 1990 740 Repair Manual?

1990 740 seems to be a semi black hole for the Haynes series of repair
manuals. The soft covered ones stocked in AutoZone locally only cover
through 1988. A local foreign parts jobber had a rather slim hard cover
Haynes that covered through 1991, but it appears to be a British edition,
and annoyingly, the schematics, if they are even relevant to US cars, stop
at 1989!

Does Bentley have a 740 manual, and where is it obtainable? Their 240
version is a very good manual.

Is there a Chilton's with decent electrical schematics?

Volvo factory manual - is it outrageously overpriced?

If you are looking for electrical diagrams, you may want to consider
the official Volvo documentation at:

Bentley only do 240 series. Chilton has unclear electrical diagrams. The Haynes
manual number 1258 is better than the AutoZone example. The Volvo factory manual
comes in a large number of booklets around $50 each. The complete set works out
at around $3,500!!. Try Brickboard I believe they have a set of manuals from
which relevant parts can be downloaded.

If it´s only the circuit plans, I have a Haynes manual on CD, the files are
PDF files. I had a look at them. One section is until 1988, the other is
from 1989 until 1991. If you are interested, contact me by e-mail

Would you happen to have a diagram of the passenger side door lock? Mine
was damaged in an attempted break-in and I want to attempt to fix it. I
would
like to be able to get some idea of how complex it is before I start so I
can assess whether I should leave it to the pros. Any help will be
appreciated.

Thanks
