Haynes Repair Manuals Reviews

The HAYNES series of books have been with us for years now, we are used to them. At one time they covered just cars, but now their range includes caravans, decorating, washing machines, computers, bikes, and even racing engines. In fact they have one now covering MAN, All models, shapes, sizes & colours. 120,000 BC to present day It's number ...

As mentioned in my recently updated review my Micra is coming close to being taken off the road due to old age. But in the 11 months since I bought her she has needed no work doing at a garage other than the service I had done to ensure she would be safe during the winter months. The reason for this, the Haynes Manual that the previous ...

Apart from buying your house the purchase of your first indeed your any car is a big decision. For those who can afford to buy new models great, for the remainder of us who purchase second hands cars we are perhaps a little bit more cautious. Which ever category you find yourself in you will have by now discovered the cost of maintenance and ...

Since I first passed my driving test (circa 1965), I have owned and ran every banger you can imagine. My first-ever car was a 1956 Hillman Minx with a slipping clutch. By careful driving I did about 1000 miles but then, when I found myself having to avoid steep hills, I thought is was time to get the clutch done, but whatever it cost in those days ...

Take for instance, the time he put oil into our Mondeo. Three days later he wondered why the car was making a strange noise. He opened the bonnet and stood back ...

Haynes car manuals are nothing like the quality or details they used to be. BUT, I was pleasently surprised when I picked up Haynes "Build your own computer". This is how it should be done! Step by step with nice clear photos - from me knowing nothing on the subject, I read this over about 4 days, then ordered the bits, next thing you ...

With car servicing costing up to £45 an hour having the know how to repair / service your car can pay dividends. Haynes produce a range of manuals that cover most popular cars, whether they be old or recent models it's probably covered. These manuals are written by engineers who literaly strip the car down to find out how they are ...

Haynes auto manuals look very out dated, with their hard back cover and dated looks. But don't be fooled if you have a car and don't know much about its workings they are brilliant. I don't drive but my wife does and we both know very little about car mechanics, but having read the haynes manual, i changed the oil, plugs,filters, ...
