Last one I had was an 86 DTR Turbo Safari, bought it at 114,000 miles sold it at 262,000. I did have a Haynes manual for it but I lent it to someone.....

Welcome to the forum and congrats for buying the CX! Those DTR Turbo Safari's are top cars... 8-)

There's a CX DTR Turbo Safari here at the moment so I'll have a look for a manual and take some pics of relevant pages if there is one...

still no joy looking for owners manual,found one in swedish!!!! only worry with the car so far is the main drive pulley for the w/pump ect.it looks kinda dodgy,been cobled together in the past,are these pulleys,or the shaft, a problem? dont want to mess with it as it works as is, will have to investigate further as this drive is crucial,would like to repair to origonal spec.

The DTR Turbo Safari didn't have one unfortunately, but the DTR Turbo 2 that is now here does! So below are some quick pictures of a couple of pages.

aha,so thats what the red light on the rev counter is for! had noticed the ruber pipe to the dump valve was removed and blocked. seems i have quite a few jobs with this old girl. After jumping back into the merc after 2 weeks of CX ing am beggining to wonder if i should start hunting around for a really good DTR safari and sell the merc.
