StephenFord Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm usually pretty adept at ignoring 'offers' when thrust upon my laptop screen, but seeing the one on this forum, I thought, oh, why not... Bloomin' typical LOL 馃ぃ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I wouldn't bother...聽 You can find much better guides for anything you need on Youtube nowadays...for free! The last Haynes I bought was the Mk2 Focus one (but mines聽blue, they must have released another for facelift?) and it was crap tbh.聽 They suggest every job requires 12 other things removing for access and suggest that anything requiring diagnostics is entrusted to a dealer.聽 The only thing a modern Haynes is good for is torque figures, but even those can generally be found online, or by asking on here.聽 And they're not always correct either! 聽 Having said all that, I've found the ideal Haynes for you @StephenFord https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ford-Focus-Definitive-Modifying-Manuals/dp/1844250857/ 聽 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The 'modern' or more recent Haynes manuals are not what they used to be, not half as informative and as comprehensive as they were, they do have another use though, ideal for putting under the leg of a wonky dining table! Saying that though, in all seriousness, I managed to find a new one for my MK1 Focus, I say managed as this one seems quite rare, I searched absolutely everywhere for nearly 2 years before I actually found one. I no longer have the car so no longer need the manual, it covers the MK1 Focus 2001 to 2004. (51 to 54 plate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WireyWhenWet Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 For what its worth, I just bagged a Vauxhell one for a friend from Halfords as they price match ECP, ECP happens to have loads of the Haynes gear and the SUN50 code they had on at the weekend worked for the manuals in my basket and took themdown to 拢10.02 each- I was next door to Halfords at the time so popped in and had a word, showed them the forum card as well to see if it helped but the lad just said yeah we can do that and bipped it in for a tenner. Showed him this which he glossed over quite quickly, which I really don't blame him for.. 聽 聽 I'm now looking to get the missus one now I think.. 馃檭 https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/haynes-women-s-car-diy-964770441 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
