Excellent Quality Colour Photo Guides, 14 Aug 2007
This review is from: Do It Up: Mazda MX-5: A Practical Guide to Renovation on a Budget (Hardcover)
Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the guides in this book!
It is written in a plain easy-to-follow way for readers of any proficiency from non-mechanically minded to the more competent.
Really you'll want to buy this book if you plan on doing a few jobs yourself including changing the cambelt, starter motor, driveshaft, dampers, brakes, repairing electric windows.
The guides are really excellent with brilliant colour photos, tools required, etc. Though not as thorough as Rod's workshop manuals, the quality of the pictures make the guides in this book much easier to follow and the little boxes containing tips are really good.
The routine maintenance section is quality too especially for the novice.
There are some great guides to hood fitting & instrument dial face changing too.
This book also has a good list of part suppliers and websites at the back of the book.
Please note that this book is not really designed to help with fault-finding for which I would highly recommend Rod's workshop manuals (also available on Amazon).

If you've got an MX5 then I'm sure you'll find something in it that's useful.. this was recommended by one of the owners clubs and I bought it for my Dad.. He's used it on quite a few occasions to do little bit's on his car..
