Haynes Manual is out???

MOSS says so: http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=49583

Does it cover S too? Usually Haynes covers all varients in 1 book....

Is it really available? Amazon doesn't list it.... Is MOSS taking advance orders?

Inquiring minds want to know.....:impatient

I did a search under the Haynes manauls of the UK. I found the new MINI and classic Mini. I didn't see it under the USA site though. I'd assume that they're importing it?!?! Of course, that's an assumption.

Link to UK Site

I'd like to know more about this though! Bently's manual is a solid choice as well!

Haynes manuals always seem to be a bit too cookie cutter for me.

kinda just like a chiltons manual, but with pictures pertaining to a certain car

Bently, all the way. Just got mine today and i dont know how i did without it before

the wiring diagrams themselves were well worth 100 bucks.

its gonna be alot easier to diagnose problems now.

I have the Haynes manual for the new MINI. Ordered it with the one for the classic from MINI Mania. Got it in a couple of days.

Me too! And that "installation is the opposite of the removal" doesn't cut it .

Bently is very good, just got to get used to those precise torque settings caused by the Newton conversion.

I have a Bentley an I love it. It is the closest thing I have seen to a factory shop manual.

Hanes manuals are good enough for most things but if you need to trace a wiring problem or fix some of the not so common problems it will frustrate you.

IMHO you should save your money and get the Bentley.

Cheers,
Jack
