Post by: Jocko on July 12, 2019, 09:11:34 AM: Okay. A cardboard teapot it is then. Not like the old Haynes manuals. I took an Austin 1800 transmission to bits with the help of a Haynes manual. The Jazz manual keeps saying see a specialist/garage/dealer.
I suppose it is changing times. Cars were simpler back then, and the weekend mechanic was happy to strip and rebuild whatever required the work, on the garage/kitchen floor.

Haynes manuals seem to have become more generic over the years, obviously they cannot delve into the inner workings of every car now because the modern car is a complicated bit of kit, and not sure how easy getting information is for them from foreign car makers.

Post by: Jocko on July 12, 2019, 11:02:55 AM: Back in the day they would buy a car, strip and rebuild it, and document how they did it. They didn't have problems with foreign manufacturers back then. I have Volvo, FIAT, DAF, Peugeot and SAAB manuals in my collection. Never thrown one out!

They talk about Honda Fit, this could mean this is a manual for USDM or Asean models, with 1.5 or other engines.
You can read the official manual in Maris, but it's not cheap.

Post by: Jocko on July 16, 2019, 12:09:05 PM: I ordered a manual 4 days ago and have been charged for it, but have not received it or even received an email to say it is on its way. My approaches to Manual4You have fallen on deaf ears. Beginning to wonder if it is a bit of a scam!

Post by: SuperCNJ on July 16, 2019, 03:18:40 PM: hmmm... not good. Hope you manage to get your money back.

Post by: Jocko on July 16, 2019, 09:34:21 PM: Contacted their London Facebook site and I was told I would have email link within 50 minutes. That was five and a half hours ago. It's a scam. Don't buy a manual from Manual4You.

Post by: Jocko on July 18, 2019, 03:54:58 PM: Finally got a download of the manual, after threatening to go on the various motoring forums I frequent and dishing the dirt.
Huge sections of it appear to be for the 1.5 (as suggested earlier).
I have the necessary .zip file, for the Mk 1, if anyone wants to PM me with any questions(!).
