Excellent publication. Pictures and text very helpfull and descriptive.

These Haynes manual try to cover too much ground and end up shortchanging the reader when you get down to the Nitty Gritty. Never again.

I'm old enough to remember when I could go out in the garage on a Saturday and rebuild the carburetor in a couple of hours.
Now-a-days you cannot even find the engine without removing the shrouding and usually there is no carburetor. So, yes times have changed! You must have information on the technology used on your particular vehicle to have any hope of working on it.
What is it? (how does it work?)
Where is it?
What does it look like?
How do I fix/replace it?
This book does a good job of answering these questions and I am very happy with it. I would recommend that anybody who needs information on their vehicle get one of these.

I just replaced my front brakes guided by this manual. There were no surprises!The book told me exactly what to do.

Paper was a little thin and the instruction had you jumping around a lot, from one chapter to the other. For the money not bad.

I have used this book many times as a reference when trying to figure out problems in my 1001 Tribute, looking for improvements or just trying to understand what my service engineers tell me. I would give it 5 start if the paper quality was better (it's worse than a newspaper).

The printing quality is very very poor. Also the paper quality is worst than a news paper (for a manual that will be used several times)
I did not expect it to be so bad.
It is also limited the topics (see cluch)
