Haynes manuals are not what they used to be

Post by Jules59 »

Just bought a Haynes manual for Mk 7 Fiesta. Compared to the Haynes manuals of old it is no way as good- no exploded diagrams which really help to give you an overview of things - just small poor quality B&W photos. It even has a chapter on Fuel Economy and their advice on driving for short journeys is get a bicycle !!! (In a workshop manual FFS)

Oddly I could not find anything on Ebay, where Ive previously bought proper workshop manuals for BMW, Audi, Skoda and Freelander


Does anyone know where you can get a decent workshop manual for the Mk7 (as pdf or on a CD for instance) ?

Got to agree with you Jules.....Hayne's manuals nowadays are utter rubbish. Been repairing vars for 35 years now and always used the older verions of the Hayne's manuals as they were a good form of info and tech. Just crap nowadays....Shame on you Hayne's.
