Title: Not what it needs to be
Review: I've used more than one Haynes book and this one is really no different from the others. Ostensibly for the do-it-yourselfer, too much needed detail is left out. Far more photos are needed, especially to illustrate different models. That might just mean more versions of these books are needed. Just to illustrate what I mean, I recently changed the water pump on my Taurus. Nowhere in the manual does it mention the need to remove idler pulleys, move the alternator, remove the right wheel to access bolts, or the odd fasteners Ford uses. No hints are given for gaining access or for the most efficient procedures to get to the pump. Again and again, terms are used without explanation or illustration. Haynes is probably no worse than other repair manuals, but it's consistently disappointing in being no better.
