You can now purchase the JPNZ English Language Owners Handbook for the Honda Stepwagon / Honda Stepwgn, for either the '96-'03 models or the '04-'07 models in the Club Shop <-- Click to link

These books are produced by the renowned translators and publishers, JPNZ, and are faithful translations of the original Japanese owners handbooks as first supplied with the new car, taking you through the many aspects of ownership of your Honda Stepwagon / Stepwgn.

I am awaiting my Stepwgn, but have already purchased (via the Club shop) the appropriate owner's manual.
I understand from JPNZ that there is as yet no workshop manual for the 1996 - 2003 Stepwgn, so does anyone know if the handbook for the CRV 1995 - 2001 would be useful for the mechanicals? I know the engine is the same (B 20B)
