hi, looking to swap a freelander haynes manual 1997-2002 (r reg onwards) petrol and diesel, for a vauxhall haynes manual, astra 2.0 dti 2004,
condition is brand new,
 
"tight" and "git"? just looked at your last few posts, "pot" and "kettle" spring to mind there,
I am just trying to help anyone who needs a manual, thats what this place is about
 
Have you seen the price of Haynes manuals these days? I'd say swapsies are a great way of doing it.

i've got more than 1 land rover ergo i must have money to "throw about"

i am impression with your optimism
 
more than one land rover, well you must have pots of brass, I only had one and it was ready to bankrupt me
 
advantage of a second hand haynes manual is that instead of relying on the stupid 1 to 5 spanner rating for difficulty, you just look at the amount of fingerprints on the page. lots of fingerprints, jobs a c**t.
 
good pointer there wigleytuff, mine is as clean as a whistle,bought it when I first got the freelander,only had the car for ten months as I was hoping to keep it, had all the work done on warranty, then got shut of it because of all the faults, in between the problems it was a really nice car
 
perhaps I could sell some stick on fingerprints to give the haynes manual that authentic look. plus when you sell it, you could give the manual with the car, and say "look, I did all these jobs"

These Haynes Manual Definitions has probably been posted before...

Haynes Real Definitions
Manual: Rotate anticlockwise.
Translation: Clamp with molegrips (adjustable wrench) then beat repeatedly
with hammer anticlockwise. You do know which way is anticlockwise, don't
you?

Manual: Should remove easily.
Translation: Will be corroded into place ... clamp with adjustable wrench
then beat repeatedly with a hammer.

Manual: Remove small retaining clip.
Translation: Take off 15 years of stubborn crud, it's there somewhere.

Manual: This is a snug fit.
Translation: You will skin your knuckles! ... Clamp with adjustable wrench
then beat repeatedly with hammer.

beat repeatedly with hammer.

Manual: One spanner rating (simple).
Translation: Your Mum could do this... so how did you manage to botch it up?

Manual: Two spanner rating.
Translation: Now you may think that you can do this because two is a low,
tiny, ikkle number... but you also thought that the wiring diagram was a map
of the Tokyo underground (in fact that would have been more use to you).

Manual: Three spanner rating (intermediate).
Translation: Make sure you won't need your car for a couple of days and that your AA cover includes Home Start.
Translation: But Novas are easy to maintain right... right? So you think
three Nova spanners has got to be like a 'regular car' two spanner job.

Manual: Four spanner rating.
Translation: You are seriously considering this aren't you, you pleb!

Manual: Five spanner rating (expert).
Translation: OK - but don't expect us to ride it afterwards!!!
Translation #2: Don't ever carry your loved ones in it again and don't
mention it to your insurance company.

Translation: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Manual: Carefully...
Translation: You are about to cut yourself!

Manual: Retaining nut...
Translation: Yes, that's it, that big spherical blob of rust.
