The clear, step-by-step illustrated instructions cover the dismantling, inspection, repair and refitting of the engine, cooling system, fuel and emission control systems, exhaust, ignition system, clutch, manual gearbox, propeller shaft or drive shafts, braking system, electrical system, suspension, steering, bodywork and fittings.

Routine maintenance, complete specifications and detailed fault diagnosis procedures are also included. For rear axle differential units and automatic transmissions (where applicable) the removal, refitting and fault diagnosis procedures only are covered.

Whether you just want to change your oil, replace your plugs, carry out a top end overhaul or rebuild your gearbox, the Haynes manual will show you how and can help save substantial amounts on servicing and repair bills.

Regular maintenance and servicing will mean your car is safer to drive whilst giving you more of those precious kilometres per litre. What's more, a car that is well looked after will hold its price better and last longer.
