Like all the other haynes manuals i have purchased this one did a decent job of giving recommendations for maintenance and repair work. However i always seem to find it lacking details where i need it most (basic repair tasks that seem to be identical between manuals), and having way more details for jobs that i don't care about (totaly engine overhauls, etc. ).

Pros:
- Affordable Help for repair work
- covers most repair topics you might care about
- I have purchased several manuals for cars i have owned and found them all to be helpfull.

Cons:
- Says it covers multiple varients of the same model, but often has diagrams for only one of them.
- Many of the more common repair tasks (brakes, oil change, body work, etc.. ) are heavily coppied between the vairous Haynes manuals for different models, so often lack spesific details that would be helpfull. You can usually overcome this with some common sense, but i have found several times wishing i new exactly where something was rather then them assuming i know where it is.
- Lacks discussion on common problems encountered during repairs. Ie, would be nice to have advice on what to try if your break rotors are rusted on, etc. .

This book covers most everything garage mechanics would tackle in their garages. The directions seem well written. I have referenced it a couple of times, and it helped out. The instructions can be a bit short though, and they tend to lack some details. Navigating the book can be really annoying. Some instructions stop mid-way, and direct you to a different part of the book. When looking for something specific, I have ended up flipping through the whole book looking for the directions.

With that said, I don't think their is a better book out there. It is a good reference books to troubleshoot issues.

Haynes Repair Manual's are the only books you'll ever need for your vehicle, and this one is just as useful. I couldn't live without this book. Even though I hardly ever needed it, it was a god send when I did. Stuck on the side of the road with no idea why? This is the book that might just help you out...

Shows the location of every part and sensor how to remove and install each one. For the do it yourself person this book is invaluable. For every. Vehicle Ive owned I have bought the corresponding Haynes manual and haven't been let down yet.

this book did some realy nice job on helping me fix my 01 explorer sport. good to understand and good to use.

I was pleased to receive the manual in a timely manner. I soon found out it was the wrong manual. I received

a 1991 - 1992 explorer manual. I had ordered a 1991 -2001. So I tried to contact them but all I could get were

other products that could be purchased from them. I am very unhappy about this experience and probably won't

use them again.

Haynes manuals have gotten better over the years and this manual is no exception. The torque specifications, torque patterns and images of pertinent areas of repair, made this manual very useful. The price point of this manual makes it an exceptional deal.

This book is fairly well detailed and has most of the information a person would need for doing home auto repairs. Fair price compared with others.

Thought I was purchasing the same book I checked out of the library. Was disappointed that their were no diagrams in the book. otherwise a good reference manual.

Turned out that when the Manual actually arrived, it was brand new! I was expecting a somewhat tattered, well used copy. It also contains all the info I'm likely to need...Mike
