A Haynes manual. There is no similar product, and if you own a vehicle, there will almost certainly come a time when you'd benefit from having the manual for it. I've been buying them for well over 20 years, especially for motorcycles I've owned. It will show you how to do pretty much any job on your model of your vehicle, with pictures and description. That's an amazing amount of research, work and photography for each and every manual-thru aren't cheap, but I'd imagine it takes a lot of effort to produce every one of the hundreds of manuals published every year. Downsides? For my money, the descriptions could do with a little more detail. I'd also like it things like the torque settings for bolts were included in the text as well as at the beginning of each chapter. The photographs are useful, but the reproduction is a little muddy at times and they are quite small. Possibly the quality of the photos would be improved by use of better quality paper. I also think it's cheeky to charge again for the online version of the manual- I haven't used an online version but I'm not imagining it has extra information-surely it could be bundled as a download when you buy the paper version? So overall, I'd say a Haynes manual is a bit of an institution, there is nothing quite like it and it's a bit of a must have- but, perhaps because of the lack of competition, there doesn't seem to be have been much of a drive to improve the production values over the 2 decades I've been using them, but I guess I've still bought used and benefitted from Haynes manuals for all of that time-they are a good enough product to get the job done.Read full review
