Bruce,
Many of us have more than one manual as well as several parts catalogs as
references (TRF, Moss, VB) because the manuals do not cover every single
item. Close to it but not everything.
The Haynes and Bentley are a must. I also have Clymer and Autobook but much
of that content is found in the first two. Other listers may have their own
favorite "level 2" manuals other than Clymer etc.. There are some errors in
all of them (diagrams, explanations, directions) but they are a very small
precentage. I will not say "minor" errors because that can be a rather
subjective term. As a whole they represent a good foundation for tearing
apart your TR.
I've also come upon the Rimmer Bros website that has excellent PDF files of
the parts diagrams. Also covers Spitfire, Stag, Herald, TR7/8, GT6 et.al.
