I recently bought a 1967 MGB. I had my mechanic go over it part by part and make numerous replacements and upgrades. A day after I brought the car home it would not start. The mechanic had a number of ideas, but, ultimately, I was going to have to get the car back to him. This would be an ordeal because, well, the car would not start.
One of my first purchases when I brought the car home was the Haynes manual for the MGB. I used to always get a Haynes manual when I owned cars in the 80's. You could still fix most problems without a lift and special equipment then. The Haynes manual arrived in the morning. I read the chapter on starter motors and had the car running in about 2 hours. The manual walked me through the steps to diagnose the problem and, once I knew what it was, how to repair it.
Fortunately, this was a relatively easy fix. But I'd still be tearing my hair out trying to diagnose the problem with YouTube videos and random suggestions from people with "helpful" suggestions involving crystals and checking tire pressure without a well-written and serious manual Haynes wrote.

The Haynes MG repair manual will pay for itself the first time you pop the bonnet
Keep the Haynes manual stashed in the boot/trunk of your MG - and let your mechanic know it's there. Odds are a few fresh fingerprints will be scattered among the pages after each servicing. British specialty shops have become far less common than they were a generation ago. Today, it's increasingly likely your MG was born before your mechanic was. If there's something the mechanic needs to check, best to have them go to THE SOURCE. And for those DIY jobs, the Haynes MGB Automotive Repair Manual eliminates the guesswork when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. As with all Haynes manuals, the information is clearly and logically presented. With its step by step approach, the Haynes reference has given many neophyte MG owners the confidence to successfully tackle even the most intimidating jobs. And when you consider the book's price would barely cover 20 minutes of shop labor, the manual becomes a no-brainer.
