Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Ford Windstar documents both of the pushrod V6 engines offered that year, the 3.8L and the 3.0L. Six trims and three bodies are covered, from the four-door passenger van down to the three-door cargo version. The manual is arranged by system, with the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics a shop needs for engine work, transaxle service, front and rear suspension repair, brake overhaul and tracing the van's electrical faults.

Engines covered

  • 3.8L V6 (232 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 3.0L V6 (182 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door mini passenger van
  • 3-door mini cargo van
  • 3-door mini passenger van

Known issues on the 2000 Windstar. Eight recalls attach to this model year on the federal record. Rear axle corrosion is the recurring theme, including a campaign issued because the brackets fitted under an earlier axle remedy may not have been installed properly. Front lower control arm attaching brackets and underbody shields drew separate corrosion campaigns, the latter tied to reduced steering control. An aftermarket fuel filter whose quick connectors may not seat completed the list. Owners have filed 1,693 complaints with NHTSA, weighted toward the suspension and the service brakes ahead of the power train. Suspension, brake and axle procedures are the busiest parts of this book.
