If you're looking for Haynes manual ease of reference, and step by step instruction, I think this is a poor second, but in the absence of the former, it was virtually the only choice. There is no routine maintenence/servicing schedule provided. My initial intention in buying the manual was to undertake a simple oil and filter change, but finding out how to do this was particularly unintuitive as I flicked through the pages, there being no obvious section covering this procedure. One has to refer to 2 or 3 unrelated sections of the book. Had I not had some mechanical knowledge on vehicle mechanics already, I would have been in the dark!
