GODDESS
A Workshop Guide
Buying – restoring – Servicing – Understanding the Citroën DS

by Charles Vyse

This Workshop Guide is not intended as a replacement for the Factory Manual. It’s more a companion volume; an aid to the hands-on owner when repairing, understanding or restoring a DS. The book comprises 250 pages with hundreds of workshop photographs and clear line drawings. The book will guide you through everything from removing and stripping the engine to bodywork restoration, as well as regular servicing & maintenance issues. Including hints and tips from someone who has "been there, done that". The book also includes chapters on understanding the hydraulic system, practical repair of the hydraulic system and a guide for newbies on buying a used DS.

Citroën DS The Complete Story

by Jon Presnell

Does the world really need another book on the DS? The definitive works are Olivier de Serres' "DS Le Grand Livre" and Jan de Lange and John Reynolds' " The Original DS". This book adds little new but if you don't speak French, then it is an essential purchase, along with "The Original DS".
