Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals on cars and vans
Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals have been published since 1965 by the British publishing house Haynes, with 200 million books sold by far the largest publisher of car repair manuals in the world. They provide much more information than the owner's handbook supplied by the manufacturer with each new car.
For every Haynes manual a car is completely disassembled and then reassembled, if possible without the use of special tools. At the same time the various repairs and maintenance works are photographed in detail.
Hundreds of photos and drawings make it easy to follow the short step-by-step instructions. All adjustment data are arranged in clear tables, while clear wiring diagrams are also included.
Over 250 Haynes repair manuals on recent cars are available. In addition to the British Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals, there are also publications of Haynes Australia and Haynes USA.
Publisher: Haynes Publishing, Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset (UK). For over 20 years the TMB Bookshop has been an official dealer for Haynes Manuals.
Size: 27 x 21 cm (10.6 x 8.25 in)
Language: These books are in English.
Units: These manuals list measures and weights in ISO units (m, kg, Nm, ...) as well as in Imperial units (inch, ft, lb ft, ...).
Automatic transmissions and modern gearboxes: Because special tools and adjustment equipment are required, the overhaul of automatic transmissions and modern gearboxes (specialist work!) is not covered in these books, but they usually provide instructions for replacing the ATF fluid and adjusting the controls.

Wiring diagrams: Haynes manuals contain clear wiring diagrams.
What information does a Haynes Owners Workshop Manual provide?
These Haynes Manuals cover maintenance, repair and overhaul of the complete vehicle: engine (valves, camshaft, cylinder head, oil pump, seals and crankshaft), cooling system, heater, fuel system, exhaust, starting and charging system, clutch, drive shafts, braking system, suspension, steering gear, body, interior and electrical system. Included are removal and installation instructions, technical data, torque wrench settings and clear wiring diagrams.
