    Trust me, for a beginner Haynes is shite.

    An exagerated example would be:

    To remover the widget simply take out the engine, making sure to check the bobbet ratio and measure the drive thingy before simply unscrewing the widget, not forgetting the replace the whosit bolt to the correct tolerence.

    Accompanied by a small picture showing nothing useful.

    I can see KS point.

    I was trying to do somethnig and it started off with remove the *** bolt. I was sat there going, yeah how?

    Can't remember what it was.

    It has been immensely useful to me though, and I'm a beginner.

    I will probably use both, it pains me to say this but technically I am I now have plenty of time on my hands to gen up.
    TBH this is in large part due to you guys, there I was just minding my own business, not a care in the world, then bang I buy a willy and search the internet for a forum, full of interesting people who own the same. NOW I wake up in cold sweats, I don't eat, all I talk about is this damn car, I've even started to take things off it AND NOW I CAN'T GET THEM BACK ON!! I now realise that I know the square root of F***ALL about the simplest things, so if you get pissed off with my unintelligent stupid questions my therapist and I apologise.

    The only way to learn is get your hands dirty. Digi pics at various stages if need be.

    Failing that were here to help guide you put it back together
