Haynes is the world's leading publisher of automotive repair manuals and is renowned for teaching millions of car owners how to carry out routine maintenance and repairs. Haynes publishes manuals for more than 500 cars and vans as well as useful glovebox guides

A Haynes Workshop Manual will help you get the best value from your vehicle and can do so in several ways: by helping you decide what work must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage), by providing information on routine maintenance and servicing, and by giving a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur. It can also help deal with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns.

Haynes manuals have an enviable reputation worldwide for precise, extensively illustrated instructions. Each manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of the various components, so that their layout can be understood. The tasks are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step sequence. On simpler jobs it may even be quicker than booking the car into a garage. Perhaps most importantly though, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads. There are sections on daily, weekly and routine maintenance plus instructions for straightforward jobs such as wiper blade and bulb replacements. Also included is advice on preparing for the MOT test, fault-finding charts and useful guidance for driving economically.

As with all Haynes Manuals, there are sections on:

Maintenance - simple weekly checks to keep you on the road
Servicing - complete, fully illustrated step-by-step guides
Fault-finding - information helping you to pinpoint specific problems easily
Brakes - safety checks and repairs for the home mechanic
Haynes Tips - valuable short cuts to make many tasks easier
