If you do buy the online manual, let us know how you get on with it, as I just looked it up and also found one for my car, which had previously been missing as a paper copy since the car first entered the market back in 2004. Unfortunately they don't always cover everything, as I discovered about my Mazda3, where such information pertained to other engine variants (engine bay layouts) to my car (ironically the most common model in the UK of that car), which meant that some work I was thinking of carrying out was going to be much tougher than I anticipated. You may find an owners club for your car where others have 'found' the manufacturer workshop manuals, which are of some help, in addition to the experiences (some may post 'how to' guides, including videos on YouTube, etc) of other owners on that forum. I've heard both on this forum and elsewhere that over the last 10 years or so, especially as cars have got more computerised/complex generally, that the Haynes manuals that were available (many weren't before the 'online only' versions were published) were of far lower quality, confirming what others have said in this thread. I used to own a hard copy of the Haynes manual for my old 96N Micra - very useful guide it was too to avoid unnecessary bills at the deaelership for minor work. Are the online ones more detailed? And do you download the manual to your computer, tablet or phone, or do you have access via an online account from any device? Can't see the answer on their website.

I don't think the paper manuals are what they used to be, but better than nothing. Has anyone used one of these online manuals?
