Haynes manual ..............LOOK!!!!!

[Ken]

Ok here is the news that some of you if not all of you have been waiting for :lol:

After lengthy and hard negotiations lasting into the night :lol: we have got ourselves a discount as well. The Haynes manual will be available from Haynes at a discounted rate of 15% for our club members along with FREE 2nd class postage to UK addresses.

More news on how to order as soon as I get it from Haynes as they never put that in the email I have received. At a guess I would say you ring them and order it saying you are a club member but they have not yet confirmed that.

Update

When you ring Haynes to order say you are a member of The 75 & ZT Owners Club and you will get your discount along with free postage. The RRP is £18.99 so it should be £16.15 to our members.

Remember Christmas is coming ;)

[GreyGhost]

Well done Ken, That gave me enough time to cancel my Amazon order which would not have been despatched until 27th -28th November.
Now I can get one through the club at the discounted price.

I'm very happy about that :lol:

I have just placed my order with Haynes, they know all about us and they have as of 2 hours ago got stock.

Call on the main Customer services number and they will take your order.
01963 442030.

I'm even happier now :)

Haynes lady just phoned back and asked for the forum address so they could have a look.

Well done Ken, diamond geezer

Cor fanx Ken, learn something new every day, love this site :D

[Moonstone]

Any idea how much postage to Ireland would be?

The website quotes standard £5.50 per order for Western European destinations, including RoI, but also £2.75 for UK 2nd Class Post, so maybe they would discount that. Prices likely to be charged in euros, according to Ts & Cs.

[loupus666]

Damn....just rang to order & they say they can`t check club membership & that I should call back on Monday! just hope they still have some then....

Mark

Hi Mark I just rang them to see what's going on.
It's nothing to do with checking membership. They will accept just being told that you are member.
The problem is that their computer systems have just gone down and they are unable to take any more orders until Monday.
They do apologise for any inconvenience.

[rovermech]

Hi all
Been in my local Halfords today and the manager phoned Haynes about the 75 manual he was told the container had arrived in England and they should have the manual's ready for sale next week ( I thought they were printed at Yeovil Somerset) probably come from China!
I was told with a Halfords trade card the price is £11.99

Tightwad :) or worms to that effect.:rofl:

I'm happy with the club price (delivered). It's warm and comfortable in here.
By the time I take the car out to Halfords and back. Wear and tear, petrol, my time, queing up with all the flu ridden hoy poloy, inevitably spending more money on something else that I could really do without.
No contest.

What is a Halfords trade card?

[Raistlin]

Thanks Ken :)

I'll also be on the phone on Monday morning

[madone]

Thanks Ken. Hope its been worth the wait :lol:

[Kandyman]

Great work Ken.

Just told the wife what i want for xmas :)

[yp53]

Great work Ken.

Just told the wife what i want for xmas :)

....so where does a Haynes manual come into it? Ooh Err!

I thought you had just bought your xmas present anyway?

[Kandyman]

No there were my birthday present to match my wooden wheel i got last week ;)

[actros]

Thanks Ghost you just saved me the price of a call :DItold gg that you were the one to bow down to Ken he will prob listen to his elders in time.:cool2: :suckers:

[Christopher]

Good-oh Ken ;) - need to order on Monday too now (Is the 75 on the cover in silver or not??)

[GreyGhost]

Good-oh Ken ;) - need to order on Monday too now (Is the 75 on the cover in silver or not??)

Good work Ken :)

iirc the car on the cover is copper....err I mean white :)

Nah, its just the primer coat, before they put the Copperleaf on ;) ;) :D

Top man Ken, well done. I will order mine first thing monday :clap:

They are available on eBay for £13.99 + £2.95 P&P (£16.94 Total)

Hooray for Haynes manuals! :clap:

Will order asap. Then I'll say to swmbo something along the lines of,
"So, err. Christmas. If you're stuck for ideas, then there's something in the post. Look out for it. I think I would like it for Christmas. Thank you, please very much." ;) :D

At a very good price as well but its now been bought so there was only one. It also say's that its not available until the end of November, probably someone who has a trade account with Haynes and is making a quick profit before actually getting it :lol:

[Ti Rich]

Well done to all concerned, just what we needed.

[Mike]

All credit to you Ken. A great job :)

Just asked SWMBO to order it as a my Xmas present with the club discount!

Mike

[Raistlin]

Well - that's one of the easiest things I've ordered for a while :)

Clearly, Haynes are receiving a LOT of phonecalls as the person on the other end of the phone didn't even have to ask me which club it was.

Freepost as well, that's about a fiver overall saved from the Amazon total - Thanks again Ken

[Roverama]

Thanks Ken

Ordered mine this morning, mentioned the club, got the discount !

Steve

[Rushy Racer]

Thanks Ken

Me too !!

[crofts]

Incorrigible :rofl:

They only tell you how to take it to bits, so be careful :rofl:

Good advice GG.Wot But it's ok, I'm sure the answer will be on the last page :-
'for assembly, take the bits to your friendly Rover dealer who has all the necessary tools & equipment .......:eek: and part 2 of this manual, reassembly' (only available to the trade / available 2008:rolleyes: !)
Actually, I think we will find Haynes have put some extra effort into this manual. Just hope the paper and photo quality is better than some of their other manuals. The 99-2002 Vectra manual is on newstype paper that isn't even white which does nothing for the photo quality :sad3:

As I'm typing this phone rang......... This is Haynes phoning to say the manual is available. Good of them, I left the message in May !:lol:

[windrush]

Mines on its way ordered it this morning and the young lady said it will be in the post this afternoon,thanks again to our Ken

[GreyGhost]

He's not just a pretty face, :)
Done us proud on that one.

[Ken]

Thanks lads but really no thanks are needed.

Guess I had better buy one now!

Just had a thought, if the saving is say £3 what can you buy for that? Very little nowadays, perhaps a pint of real ale? 10 ciggies? a gallon of petrol or £3 owners clubs subs! only a thought :D


Only joking :lol:.................................. sort of ;)

Cheers all

Ken

[Ken]

Just ordered mine with no problems at all. As someone else said they must be getting a lot of calls because when I told them I am a member of the club she said "o'h yes no problem" without even checking. :lol:

[Kandyman]

I heard you said to them "Do you know who i am " ;)

I would think that the only phone calls they would be getting would be club members, the "normal" people would just buy it online or from halfords ;)

[Zeb]

Just ordered mine...quick, easy and efficient...most unusual in this country!
Thanks guys.

[baxlin]

Can anyone let me have the Haynes order line phone number, please? SWMBO asked today what I want for Christmas!

(actually it went something like - shall I choose something or do you want something for one of your cars...........) Not bad, my missus!

[Kandyman]

No worries baxlin,

we have to have some work to do here :)

[EnEnGee]

Just ordered mine. No problems and very efficient. Make sure you ask for the Club discount. Main customer services line seemed to work for me (01963 442030).

[JohnDotCom]

Just Ordered Mine, No Problems At All, Lovely Helpful Lady Other End Of Line.

Said She Had Quite A few Orders Now Up In The Fifties Range From Members.

Ken You Should Be On Commision Mate!

But Thanks Well Worth The Phone Call.

[Kandyman]

I go this from Amazon this morning as i never cancelled my order with them, i have now :)

-----------------------------------
Dear Customer,

We wanted to give you an update on the status of your order.

Unfortunately, an unexpected delay from our supplier may prevent us from delivering some items in your order by Christmas.
The following items have been delayed:

Robert Jex "Rover 75 and MG ZT Petrol and Diesel Service and Repair
Manual: 1999 to 2006 (Haynes Service & Repair Manuals)"

Our current estimate is that it will take an additional 4-6 weeks to obtain these items for you.

[GreyGhost]

Mine just arrived. Yippee.

Usual standard of photographs not the best quality paper but perfectly acceptable. haven't had time to read much of it yet but looks at first glance to be a very useful piece of kit. :)

[CDTi]

The website quotes standard £5.50 per order for Western European destinations, including RoI, but also £2.75 for UK 2nd Class Post, so maybe they would discount that. Prices likely to be charged in euros, according to Ts & Cs.


Logic would seem to dictate that if UK customers get free postage, then non-UK customers would have that £2.75 deducted from the £5.50 charge.

Haynes, however, have informed me that "the postage is a standard charge and unfortunately not discountable".

When I politely informed them that this Club are getting a discounted postage rate (i.e. free!), I was told that "Unfortunately the postal charge to Customers in the Republic of Ireland would be £5.50 if they are a car club member or a member of the public paying full price for one of our manuals."

Well, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I know its only £2.75 but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Well done, though, to Ken for an excellent deal.

[windrush]

Mine arrived this morning must say a great service from Haynes

[madone]

Just ordered mine, first chance I've had. Very helpful and friendly lady. Thanks Ken :D

Ah, the joys of automated computer systems for you. Always giving you notices and emails/letters days or even weeks after you've amended/cancelled something or other! :rolleyes:

[davehockley]

I received mine this morning and I only ordered it Monday lunchtime. I don't usually receive first class letters that fast and it's a second class large packet. Great service and a lot cheaper than Halfords. Thanks Ken!! :D

Regards,

Dave

[crofts]

Well done Ken, That gave me enough time to cancel my Amazon order which would not have been despatched until 27th -28th November.
Now I can get one through the club at the discounted price.

I'm very happy about that :lol:

Just as well you did GG. Amazon have just advised me they won't be able to ship till 28 December. Work that one out ! !
I left my order with them so as not to delay obtaining one and had been advised it would be despatched on 27th Nov. Bit pi**ed off as the Haynes lady phoned me last week. So cancelled the Amazon order and will phone Haynes first thing in the morning. Saves me enough to buy the wife's Xmas present :D
Actually I sent an Email to Amazon asking why they are selling at full retail +P&P. Think it was £21.66 from Amazon :eek:

[Alex30013k]

:( ...........


:confused: :confused:

[CDTi]

This is getting confusing. What is the price inc p&p and club discount direct from Haynes?


£16.15 for UK customers

[Tatts]

Will someone please kick me. Hard?

I ordered mine direct from Haynes, full price plus P&P - forgot all about this.

[GreyGhost]

Give them a ring and see if you can get it sorted if you haven't already received it. They are very helpful folks.

[GreyGhost]

Thanks CDTi, I'll buy one from Haynes.

Don't order on the web you have to call them to get the club discount £16.15 delivered.

[BMC123]

Got mine this morning, it was supposed to be a Christmas present, but as soon as it arrived it got opened :D after a quick read it shall be put into the cupboard, and i hope i never have to see it for a long time (if you get my drift) ;)

[Roverama]

I think mine arrived this morning, but as I wasn't at home to receive it I have to wait 48 hours to collect it from the sorting office, ******!!!

[Neil Coupland]

£16.15 for UK customers

Saved a penny!! Just rang up and ordered my copy, got the impression over the phone that a number have already done so today. At the end of the transaction was told that the price was £16.14....it must be Christmas!:D

[Ken]

It is £16.14 and its my fault for quoting the extra penny. Its slightly over the 14p and I thought they would round up and not down :lol:

Ken

[Rushy Racer]

Mine arrived today, so it's self help on the misfire problem that nobody has any ideas about ( well 12 of you have read it but no replies )

[Keith]

One thirty this afternoon and a ring on the door bell! Nice friendly postman with two Haynes manuals for me. One is mine and the other belongs to some bloke who won it fair and square at Beaulieu for the members vote of best car of the meet.


Going in the post tomorrow Alex so with luck it will be with you by Tuesday :lol:


To be honest the manual at first glance seems to be better than I expected :lol:

Got mine this morning....hardback! Nice surprise! Quality of the paper inside was not such a nice surprise....you certainly wouldn't want to get it wet or oily! Content seems good but photos rather small for my eyes...

Anyway, well pleased with the discount thanks to the club guys!:D

[JohnDotCom]

Mine arrived today. Very Quick service & Thanks guys for getting the discount!
Seem to have forgot differences on Facelift model though!

[Raistlin]

Actually I sent an Email to Amazon asking why they are selling at full retail +P&P. Think it was £21.66 from Amazon :eek:

Well was going to phone Haynes but thought just for fun i would phone the 3 shops I use in Cambridge. Halfords and Wilco didn't have but, surprise, surprise, Discount Autoparts ( A1 ) did. Cost me £1 more than from Haynes so not bad.
Interestingly Wilco said they charge £14.99 for all Haynes manuals.
The paper quality is miles better than the last manual I bought and I think the photos, in that 'grey Scale', are clear. If black, of a black part, the detail is not clear.
Need to have another look but don't think they have got it right for removing the fan.

[EnEnGee]

Visited the Royal Mail Sorting Office Saturday morning to pick mine up as too big to go in through letter box. Pictures a little on the small side but par for the course in Haynes these days, and some of the print is not the best.

They have also perpetuated the myth, refuted by Richard Woolley in the brief interview on this site, about the car being "apparently based on a 5 series platform". Otherwise, I am satisified and would rather have it than be completely on our own. Spent much of Sunday evening scanning through it.

Ken, a big thanks for arranging the price reduction deal with the publishers. Top man.

[andyjshaw]

Ordered my copy today - very nice people!!!
Delivery 4-7 days.

[grivas]

Hi all, and a Merry Christmas to all of you.
My experience with Haynes Manual in the recent years is that they are rather disappointing , lacking in detail and clarity, and was wandering if the long awaited one for the R75/MG etc is worth the cost.


thanks

[GreyGhost]

The Haynes manual for the 75 and ZT seems be to pretty comprehensive. The photographs are not of the best quality neither is the paper the book is printed on. Having said that it is very easy to follow and the pictures are adequate. It is also perfectly legal to own a copy.

BTW welcome to the club and the forum

[JP53]

Wrong! You are allowed by law to make 1 copy of any origonal work you own for your own use.

You are not allowed to sell for finantional gain, or distribute by any means.

As I own an origonal copy of the manual, I am perfectly entitled to make a copy for my own use.;)

I quote from the Haynes manual...

'No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording or by any information storage retrieval system, without permission in writing from the copyright holder.'

I see no reference to copying for personal use.

[SCOTTY1]

It's still irrelevant, UK law takes precedence over any general statement in any published works of intellectual property by any media type.

[Zeb]

It's still irrelevant, UK law takes precedence over any general statement in any published works of intellectual property by any media type.

Errr, no.....UK law states that copying more than one chapter of a book would be unlikely to constitute fair dealing and would therefore be illegal. Check out the Copyright Licensing Agency:

http://www.cla.co.uk/licensing/LibraryPoster_A4.pdf

[Simon]

To be fair, I don't think Hayne's are going to mind so long as PDF documents don't start being sold on eBay or something. :rofl:

Whatever the law does or does not state, I don't think we should lose sleep over this one... ;)

[GreyGhost]

You blokes just carry on if you wish but this seems to me to a pretty pointless conversation. Bloke A. is protecting his investment. Bloke B. disputes whether it is or is not legal. Bloke C-Z. Really doesn't care. :D.
If you are happy talking about it though, then, carry on. :)

agreed (no point)

[Zeb]

Sorry but there is a perfectly obvious point. Haynes kindly gave the club a discount, for the club to then have wrong information on its public forums as regards the copying of the Haynes manual (which breaches Haynes' copyright) is simply not sensible.

[SCOTTY1]

[T-Cut]

The Copyright legislation is very clear on this. A copy of any article made for personal/private use, where such use has no commercial motivation, is permitted. You can also get the facts here.http://www.cla.co.uk/copyright/copyrightlaw.html

Scotty1 is allowed to copy his Haynes manual in PDF provided he's using it for his personal/private purposes. If he referred to the copy to enable him to service cars as a business, he would break the law. The crux seems to be in the interpretation of 'use'.

Whether he would be legally entitled to copy the whole book in one go rather than the specific section of interest, is arguable. Those sections not relevant at the time would remain unused. Copying something and then not using it would seem to me outside the rules.

[adrenalin rush]

Tightwad :) or worms to that effect.:rofl:

I'm happy with the club price (delivered). It's warm and comfortable in here.
By the time I take the car out to Halfords and back. Wear and tear, petrol, my time, queing up with all the flu ridden hoy poloy, inevitably spending more money on something else that I could really do without.
No contest.

What is a Halfords trade card?
Gives discount on all parts and tools an enginer from work poped round to sort my ford out said he would get part from his parts place took him to hellfords. Could not get over the discount. He now has a trade card
Worth geting...........Yes

[WEJ11]

Do you have the email address. I wish to order the manual and wish to know if they can courier it to Malaysia?

[GreyGhost]

Welcome to the club and the forum, be sure to let Haynes know you are a member here to get your discount. If Haynes will not ship to KL let me know and you can have it shipped to me and I will forward to you.
Haynes manuals are available world wide so I should think they will ship to you.

I have a Halfrauds Trade Card, you get quite a good discount on service items...not the overpriced polishes etc., but definately worth having.P.

There are some good deals out there now for the manuals. Remember this thread and the club offer was started when the manuals first came out. The offer is still open but the thing is now to shop around. My local shop was selling them for £14 a couple of weeks ago.

Although the cover says up to 2006, that really only covers the common parts to both pre and facelift. When I emailed Haynes about how to remove the washer bottle on my facelift they did not realise that it was different. They explained that Rover never gave them a facelift to work on. So if you have a mk2 the Haynes may not be as usefull as you would like.

[geoff11]

Well after viewing all posts for an answer Ive just had it in the last post , no V8 coverage :shrug:

[Duotone]

Here are the instructions from a Rover manual.

I thought that removing the washer bottle on the facelift was the same as the mk.1..

Hi Dave,
The washer on my mk2 is looks completely different and is mounted a different way as well. I tried to follow the how to instructions from this forum but they made no sense when compared to my washer. Hence the email to Haynes.
