I'll pick it up when it comes out in print. Yes, the shop manual is nice but awful hard to find things and nothing beats a print manual while you are sitting in your driveway.
I used to think this. (And maybe for diagrams it's still true. I like to print those off.)
But my 14yr old and I were sitting in the driveway a while ago, pulling codes off his crappy old Metro.
"Now let's go in, put these in a Google search and see where we start," I told him.
"Mom? Why don't you just put them into a Google search in that computer you keep in your pocket?" indicating my phone.
Oh.
Well I guess I could do that also, eh? [:I]
I've not bought a Haynes since '99. They were getting too unreliable. That's when I started getting vehicle-specific service manuals off ebay, but even at that I haven't bothered for the last couple of cars.
It's just so much easier to do a search on a board like this. More likely than not, someone has already had the issue, found a solution and created a thread about it.
With pics or a YouTube or something.
