I am somewhat dissapointed with this book.I had been a full time mechanic early in life. Over the decades and having owned several vehicles, I had come to count on the Haynes books for support.This particular volume was dissapointing in that they basically only cover the year they dismantled. I feel overall content and support for all years of production is lacking.The second biggest dissapointment was the recycled paper print and quality. This will not hold up to use. The paper stock is no thicker than news print and this is unsuitable for a serious work aid. I can applaud the use of recycled paper but would gladly have payed twice the amount (if I had known) for good glossy paper.Another failing in using the recycled paper is the print quality itself. Smudgy print makes the electrical schematics next to useless and many captions unreadable.These manuals are still a great idea but the current incarnation seems dismally executed. Not usueless but a pale shadow of the good old days. A good value, only in that there are few options.

Good generic reference but sparse on useful details. For example, difficulty in following instruction disassembling door. I ended up feeling my way about via trial and error. Locating placement of parts in my 1999 Nissan is often an adventure. Need to replace the heater motor resistor; can locate on wiring diagram but I'll be damned if I can locate in vehicle.

I rarely rebuild an engine; but I often replace swithes and relays. This manual is little weak in these areas. I does have some schematics that I have found lacking in other after market offerings. One example is the system to allow you to trouble shoot the locking system for the steering wheel and shift lever is not there after you locate symbols in the diagram, it takes some real guess work to locate them physically. I wonder if I would not have used the money spent to purchase more expensive shop manuals.

I got this manual at substantial savings and it was shipped to me very fast too. The seller is highly recommended and the product is better than expected. Thanks.

Probably great because it only really covers a single model. Very clear and easy read.

book is well made and has lots of information thay you may be looking for to fix that vehicle of yours!
