destruction manual

[andyuk697]

hey all
will it benefit me buying a haynes destruction manual to strip my doner car then replace the bits on my build?
im thinking yes it will but id rather not buy one and not use it

cheers Andy

Depends how much refurb you intend to do on your donor.

I got one on fleabay for about £7 inc postage

It has been helpful for me, I am about to refurb a set of rear brake calipers.

I don't have a donor though, am buying the bits I need/want

I'd say a definite yes - very handy for checking things out, how bits come apart - what that bit was for etc.

I got my copy for £2 on a stall at the Kemble steam fair

i,d say yes ,
which engine do you have ? i bought my first manual but didn,t realise it doesn,t cover the cvh engine so i had to buy another
so now i have spare one if you,re not using the cvh.

wait sorry no im confused lol its a 1.8 cvh in my doner car
blonde moment i best not bid on this one then its for 4 cyl engine it wont cover cvh will it

cheers Andy

well some of the manuals don,t cover the CVH engine, but most other stuff like running gear all seems to be covered regardless of which engine you have, thats how i realised i,d bought the wrong one originally

cheers

ps.. don,t worry about the blonde moment, my wife IS blonde & has lots of them moments

That's interesting, I've got an older manual and it covers the OHC and CVH models - very confusing when you flip to the wrong chapter
