Haynes 4167 Workshop Manual Automotive – 15 Sept. 2007

I got this book as my partner and I both have a ford focus I. Since i've gotten this book I have done the following: tightened my hand brake cable, fixed the cd player, changed a few bulbs and the biggest job i've doen is changed the rear drum brake shoes (albiet with help from my brother).This book is very handy, but not a one stop shop: I find if you use it in conjunction with the internet is best. The Internet is full of info: some good , some not so good. With this book you can easily screen the good from the bad. Also even if you never attempt the bigger jobs, this book is full of useful tips on the little things that people might take for granted (like how to deal with a streaky windscreen).Previous to buying this book the biggest job i had done is a mini service of my car (oil change, oil filter and air filter), so I'm not very experienced.

These books were such a staple part of any budding mechanics world that they will always have a special place in my heart. The first problem is though that they aren't very detailed and the images can be pretty poor, if indeed there are any that go with a particular thing you are wanting to fix.The second and what i consider is the fatal flaw of these books is that nowadays there are tons of videos on YouTube and guides all over the internet that are way way way better than is offered within these Haynes manuals. As a result mine goes to the bathroom with me so it gives me something to read while i'm exercising my right as a man to sit in a small room with my trousers down around my ankles.Peace

Good old Haynes ......never ever seem to have enough information of what your problem is, even when it happens to be a known model recurring problem . Always the big stuff in detail , but lacking in pictures on basic nigerly problems . e.g The under bonnet fuse box could have shown pictures of the different models boxes, instead of on size fits all diagram.and explain relays and common occurrences to check ..had to use the owners hand book to figure it out in the end. problem was both dip beams stopped....was not a fuse or relay was both bulbs blowing at once ????? new bulbs & sortedNot much else on the market at this price, so they are still around.....going to buy the disc for my computer ,not so portable though

A perfectly usable 2nd-hand manual with unbroken spine and no missing or loose pages. As advertised, it is a used example and therefore has the odd 'grubby fingerprint' on a few pages, just as one would expect from a workshop manual that has 'seen action'. An ideal 'working copy' which you are not afraid to use in a similar way, at a substantial discount from new. AND. It has just occurred to me that to re-use an item for its original, intended purpose has to be the ultimate in 'recycling'! I'm very pleased with this purchase.

and it answers many questions that you won't find the answers for on google so well worth the money.

Good manual as always had to get this one as there is no st170 manual this is the nearest one to it

Amazingly comprehensive; just what I needed to identify a part which internet browsing couldn't help me with. But then again, nothing in it about the fitment of roof racks - so not a 100%

these books speak for themselves
