Haynes Manual

Post by Telegram Sam »

I bought myself a used Haynes "Service and Repair"manual Oct 1988 to 1995" on eBay for a snip. Seems OK except that the last page is "Ref . 26 Index" and it looks like the final few index pages are missing. Irritation rather than disaster but can anyone let me have a pic of the missing pages for my convenience when searching for something that starts with P - Z?

Tks

Not a pucture...

But a clearly presented list generated from reading in page Ref 27.

Once you've used your manual a few times, you will not need an index.

I dont have any of my index pages left..
And a few front pages are missing - ha ha :roll:

My book has been heavily used and trawled through for 20 years or so.
A similar fate to that of my 30-ish year old mk2 Cavalier Hayne's manual.

Great tks. Sod's law determines that, not using the manual frequently enough to know it by heart, the item I'd be looking for would be referenced in page 27.

Cavalier law states that the Cavalier will ALWAYS have something that needs you to consult the manual on a regular basis.

Only when you have been chained to the manual for 10+ years will you reach a point that the manual is now inscribed in full inside your skull and is no longer required in paper or pdf format.

If I can get 10+ more years out of the SRi with the help of manual then I'll have little cause for complaint - by which time it will probably be illegal to take it onto the road.
