Can't put it down

By Stephen McGuire - July 3, 2003

I avg. about 25-30k miles per year on cars, so when I bought my Sentra 2nd hand (yes from the original owner) I knew I had to do some work on it. Even with a complete history record I didn't know exactly what needed to be done etc. This book has everything I've been looking for or asking about. Great book! Course my Sentra is the same color as the one on the back too. :)

Buy if you have nothing to start with...

I bought this book to help me diagnose and change the alternator. I expected to see many more steps in taking things apart, but was disappointed when I started working in the car.

There are numerous steps missing and several key pictures missing. Some of the pics are completely clueless on which part you are looking at. It should be great for an experienced person but then, it's pointless: if one is savvy enough he don't need the book.

Anyways, it's a great source of consult for a first timer. It'll save you serious bucks if you are the kinda of handyman.

All systems of the car are there, but don't expect great details.

Like all the other haynes manuals i have purchased this one did a decent job of giving recommendations for maintenance and repair work. However i always seem to find it lacking details where i need it most (basic repair tasks that seem to be identical between manuals), and having way more details for jobs that i don't care about (totaly engine overhauls, etc. ).

Pros:
- Affordable Help for repair work
- covers most repair topics you might care about
- I have purchased several manuals for cars i have owned and found them all to be helpfull.

Cons:
- Says it covers multiple varients of the same model, but often has diagrams for only one of them.
- Many of the more common repair tasks (brakes, oil change, body work, etc.. ) are heavily coppied between the vairous Haynes manuals for different models, so often lack spesific details that would be helpfull. You can usually overcome this with some common sense, but i have found several times... read more
