Haynes online
Has anyone tried the online version of the Haynes manual?
https://haynes.com/en-gb/rover/75/1999-2006#aplink (scroll down and it's the RH column of green ticks). Looks like it's £16.99 per year - a bit steep might might be worth it for ease of use 'cos it's searchable. |

It's really the online search facility that I'm after - the index system Haynes use in their printed manuals gets really annoying after a while. And the b&w pics look terrible, whereas they're probably fairly decent online.

yeah know what you mean ie replacing a window motor the replacement how to do is on page bla di bla and then removal of the door trim and card is on a totally different page so you have to keep moving from page to page think most car manuals are same really and your right about the black n white photos but it would most likely to be too expensive to produce in colour rgds mark

The £16.99 annual subscriptions spread over a typical ownership period makes the option look rather expensive to me. However, I don't mind reading books at all. In fact I prefer it when I'm doing in practice whatever it is I'm reading about. I think having to keep going online to check the next detail could be frustrating in itself. A £16.99 book on the shelf is for me anyway.

All you will ever need to know about your 75 or ZT can be found HERE
Completely searchable, and easy to print off the relevant parts you need for the job you're tackling. It's certainly what I would be using Brian |

The b&w pics could be made to look a lot better if they changed to a different type of paper - but that would price if out of the market too. Quote:
Whenever I'm using Haynes I've always got the PC running anyway - so I can look it up here (the club) at the same time. Quote:
I bought that Brian but I can only get it to run in Acrobat 4 which has a horrible interface (pokey little text in the index **). If it ran on Acrobat Reader DC it would be a completely different kettle of fish. I think the circuit diagrams in Haynes are slightly better than the ones in RAVE but maybe that's just me being weird. ** Almost forgot the nasty little icons in the Acrobat 4 toolbar - need a microscope to see what they are. Reader DC's are about 10x the size. Last edited by Blink; 18th May 2019 at 09:36.. |
