Renault Clio Petrol & Diesel 05-09 Paperback – January 1, 2014

I assume that as modern cars are now computers on wheels needing special tools to work on them then the days of the home mechanic are numbered. I would also suspect that this fact is resulting in Haynes Manuals not selling in the numbers they did when most drivers also did a spot of car repair or at least basic maintenance. Nowadays the quality of the paper in the Haynes Manual is comparable to a yellow pages telephone directory and the quality of what is written on that paper has also dropped. The explanations in some parts of this manual are poor at best. I defy anyone to change the oil filter on a diesel Clio using the instructions in the manual. Even the photograph of the tool hovering near but note not attached to the old filter proves it is nigh on impossible with the tool shown. It is not all Haynes fault though as the Clio is a ridiculous car to work on requiring the road wheels to be removed to change a front headlamp! In future I will avoid buying the manual and reluctantly will just have to take the car to the main dealer who has the tools and equipment required.

I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH SERVICE AND PRODUCT, SINCE MY DAUGHTER HAS AN OLD MODEL VEHICLE.ARRIVED EARLY WOULD RECOMMEND.I DID LEAVE INCORRECT FEED BACK ON THIS PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER !! (HAVNT BEEN ABLE TO AMMEND!)SO JUST TO EMPHASIZE !! NO ISSUES AT ALL.

I bought this shortly after purchasing a second hand 06 Clio with no manual. The majority of it is simply too tech-y for me, but last year my car failed an MOT on a missing spring in the headlamp (holding the headlamp bulb in place). I was told only the entire unit could be replaced - about £220! I used this manual to find out how to access the bulb and spring, took out the existing spring and made another spring with some wire - voila! My car passed its MOT the next day.90% of this manual I'll probably never use, but if you ever get in a bind it might just be there when you need it, and save you A LOT of money!

It's Ok I suppose. I bought this to help me to work on my daughter's car.Compared to the manuals of old this seemed to be lacking in detail, gaps in the description and photos.Or perhaps its just that cars are now more sophisticated!Note sure what option you have though as I am not aware of viable legit alternatives.

Excellent quick delivery. Book as good as new. Just the job
