I've found that Haynes Manuals are not worth the paper they are printed on now.

Bring back the old versions that actually tell you what to do...........

e.g. In the Haynes manual for my BMW to take the door apart all it says is ....." Remove Door Panel".............errrrrrrrrr.......HOW ?

Don't waste your money.......you'll find more info online with a bit of searching !

lol funny you should say that, i found a photo of the location of the crankshaft sensor, which i was after, online a couple of hours ago.
Just going to have a play now after picking up a socket set.

Just FYI- It's not 8%, Qudico site says: 3% for household electricals, books ... 8% for clothing

Still a good deal

Voted HOT - but as they get into a state in no time - I normally get one from someone local on ebay where I can pick it up. - Recycling at its best - and if you email them to ask if its OK to pick up - most will do it outwith Ebay to save the fees - and you know you will get it if you pick it up yourself.

A good way to recycle and let Ebay pay the advertising costs!

Ebay is best for these ;o)

Freecycle is a good thing too you know. Its part of yahoo groups and you just join the group relevant to where you live.

People recycle loads of things on this and its all local to you so no postage costs just travelling time

HMmmmmmm good price.

I would also look at joining model specific internet forums for your cars, it's astounding how much info is already out there and the people are usually more than happy to help.

You might even find willing local members who don't mind getting their hands dirty for the price of a few beer tokens. Great way to meet new friends.

Haynes Manuals
The good ole A to Z on how to fix your car.
The problem being: They always seem to miss out steps B to Y

Given that the manufacturers workshop manuals for the cars we work on at work come on 2 DVD's (and that's just 2 models, 1 DVD each) and the workshop manuals for the 80's and 90's models which are in nice old fashioned printed paper version take up about 2 metres of shelving *each* I'd not really be surprised that Haynes manuals don't tell you all that much.

At the same time I own a Haynes manual for the exact same car that I have the full manufacturers workshop manual for, there is a very good reason for this.... when I have broken down in the middle of nowhere then at least the Haynes will let me attempt to fix/diagnose the problem while waiting, the electrical diagrams are at least usually reasonable. Failing that they will make good firelighters so I can make a cuppa while I'm waiting for the tow truck.

For the price they are they work out as a reasonable buy, certainly not worth complaining about given how small they are, they just can't cover everything.
