The Haynes manual has become an essential part of my garage, lot's of stuff is explained in a no-nonsense way so even us foreigners can understand. I bought my version when working in the U.S. some years ago. The only thing wrong with it (apart from those darn U.S. measurements) is that there is no info on the 2.2 litre 4Y gasoline engine that we have in Europe. Nevertheless the manual is still agreat co-mechanic/tutor.

I found a lot of the information useful in this manual, but it was lacking detail that would have made some of the repairs that I made easier. For example, when replacing my clutch fan on front of my engine, it did not mention that there was an access point at the bottom of the fan shroud. After a couple hours of fiddling with it from the top, I finally found that out by removing that single piece. It could have included an illustration or note that depicted that. Anyway, if you want more detail, I suggest a service manual from another source.

Nothing amazing but has good descriptions and visuals for the do-it-your-self types. Definitely handy to have around for maintenance and from what I can tell would pretty much be helpful for all but the most complex repairs.

My husband was looking for a manual for his toyota. These things are pricey...he found this one so I ordered for him. WoW the person we purchased from sent a brand new never used still in the package manual...a 25.00 book for a total of 4.00. What a deal this was, totally amazed, husband was thilled...thank you so much!

The book was listed as being used but when it arrived it was brand new. It shipped and arrived when promised. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

Pages were of the same type as newspaper, but a little thicker. Pages were easily marked up with grease, not able to wipe off. I was doing a clutch replacement, and was left guessing at some of the diagrams and pictures.

The book was great as I used to own a Toyota Xtracab. Sadly, it finally died after 18 years of service. I bought a used Toyota RAV4 last year, but "strangely enough" I have not been able to find an inexpensive manual for the RAV4. It appears that the current manuals are expensive shop manuals. I get the feeling that the manufacturers are making cars more complex so even a simple oil and lube change are now beyond a handyman.

My husband was happy with the book, it was in good condition and arrived quick.

A good supplement to the factory manual. Could get by with this alone for many things.

The photo's are black and white and poor quality but the information is good enough to get the job done.
