Owner's manual or repair manual?

The owner's manual in the glovebox explains the controls and the service intervals. This is the other book, the one technicians work from:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: how to take parts out and put them back, the torque for every bolt, fault codes and complete wiring diagrams

Your 2005 Montego is from the Montego generation, built for model years 2005–2007. It is the first model year of this generation, so wiring, body and many procedures differ from the model before it.

Jobs owners of a 21-year-old Montego look up most

• Rubber hoses, seals and gaskets
• Rust repair and body panels
• Fuel pump, filter and lines
• Brake lines, hoses and master cylinder
• Ignition components and idle problems
