I bought this years back thinking it would be usefull, for torque settings it was. But aside from thats its pretty crap.

it will help the novice but for anyone with any sort of experience its not much cop.

The clio manual is far better tbh.

As with all haynes manuals, I find that a guide on how to do stuff with the engine out, with good all round access, in a clean well lit workshop, with no corrosion or siezed parts and all the correct tools to hand, is often not much use to me!

theres 2 versions of the 19 manual, a purple one which is far superior, its closer to the clio's.

The clio manual even tells you how to lower the torsion bar etc!

And yes Neal as always, useless unless the cars a year old and never actually driven.
