However, your manuals these days are a pale imitation of the hardback legends of yore. The flimsy soft-cover books your company makes today are nowhere near as detailed or informative.
I’ll always remember the Champion spark plug picture-diagnostic page and the body repair section that showed a dent in the n/s/r wing of a red Mk II Escort, and the finished result was so perfect, I swear to his day the photo was taken before someone put the dent in it.
Thanks anyway.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
Still, Haynes books got me out of the shit quite a few times. RIP.
Your manual was invaluable when I needed to fix the cigarette lighter on my Millennium Falcon.
But the earlier ones certainly saved me an enormous amount of money over the years.
RIP

I used to be employed in telecomms and one day whilst working at RAF Wittering I was in a large workshop where the engineers were stripping down a Harrier jump jet. The whole huge engine was on a hoist supported just above the airframe and one of the engineers as working on some complicated piping on the aircraft. I remember asking him if he had a Haynes manual for it and he laughed and said "Oh I wish we did, it would make my life so much easier".
I think Haynes might have missed a trick there.
Those books defined an era of DIY automotive maintenance.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
