It's a blessing and sometimes a shame that Haynes contracts with different writers/mechanics for their manuals. As a habit, I buy a Haynes manual whenever I buy a new(er) car. I am a backyard mechanic, which means I'll do anything which doesn't include rebuilding a transmission. I own 23 Haynes manuals. The best manuals are of course European as Haynes is a British publication. The ones I bought in Europe are all hardcover - an option not available to us here in the States. But the best part of Hayne's manuals is that in Europe, they actually tear down each car and rebuild it (like they claim on the cover), so you get insights, tips, and tricks from the actual mechanics wielding the wrench. Sometimes the writers have a sense of humor too, as in "...Don't say we didn't warn you not to do that" or "Don't be afraid of this next part, it's not as hard as it looks." The worst by a large margin are the American models. This is an example. The worst part of this Ford manual is that Haynes capitulated to Ford (like 'Chilton's' did in the late 1970's) by filling 90% of the book with straight out-of-the-factory-technical-sheets instructions, and drawings. If that's what I wanted, I would have bought a Chilton's. Something as simple as reaching the heater core is lost completely because you have to jump around the book to so many different sections which in the end caused you to disassemble things you didn't need to, while leaving out entirely critical things you did. I have seen the creeping replacement of the Hayne's manuals vehicle-specific detailed information, with applies-to-most-models-but probably-not-yours useless factory general guidelines. Since I'll never stop doing my own maintenance, the death of the historically useful Hayne's manual for U.S. vehicles will be an influence to me on whether I make my next purchase foreign. In the meantime, vote with your wallet; buy the Chilton's for your Ford. It won't make any difference to why you are buying a repair book, and maybe a decrease in American sales will make Haynes's notice they are doing something wrong.
