Are the new Haynes manuals crap?
V8MoneyPit:
--- Quote from: "Steel" ---Haynes no longer owns, the Haynes Manuals. It was sold off to some other company I heard, which is why the quality has dropped substantially.
--- End quote ---
No, as far as I'm aware, Haynes still publish the manuals. They also sell other publishers manuals, mainly US ones. There are some publishers that they used to distribute, that have now gone to other distributors.

Quality has dropped but note the price hasn't !

My wife is Pregnant (3 months), my sister brought me a Haynes Manual on Babies for Christmas; that's a lot better than all the girlie books.
The interesting thing is it's about a quater the thickness of a Land Rover Haynes Manual, does that mean children are 4 times easier?
petergalileo:
No they aint !!! I have 5 of em
If you think a haynes manual is going to be able to cover it better get some therapy for next christmas !

Have to admit that i have branded them the 'Haynes book of Bull S**T'.
Classic example, when rebuilding the gear box i found the line 'remove spring clip'. HOW!!!! it is half way down a shaft with another shaft over the top. 2 hours of bad language. a bit further - 'replace spring clip'......................
