So..over time coolant becomes acidic and attacks sealants?

I've always heard of Haynes, but it's felt a bit like the Yellow Pages to me... something that by the time I was old enough to use, was no longer useful. When I had my Panda I was able to find the Panda and 500 edition, but they seemingly just gave up and never made one for the later Panda. They had a line of them in our Halfords too, I noticed it was all 2000s cars, nothing really new.

Just tried looking up my current car on their site... they now do an online only guide and diagnostics for about £30. Not so sure I'm interested. There's a leaked version of the official repair manual system (same as the eLearn for the Panda on here...) which is direct from source. There's a paid portal you can use as well, officially, to buy time to browse the part system... repair guide... diagrams etc. And then of course.. forums and YouTube. Surprised they're hanging on though

To be fair they were quite useful when i was learning on my classic Mini’s but as i bought them through my BMW E30’s and Golfs etc I tended to use them more as a rough guide. Always found them handy for torque wrench settings pre Google as well. Same as most things, killed by the internet!
