MGB Automotive Repair Manual: 1962-1980 MGB Roadster and GT Coupe with 1798cc (110 Cu In Engine) (Haynes Manuals)

I recently bought a 1967 MGB. I had my mechanic go over it part by part and make numerous replacements and upgrades. A day after I brought the car home it would not start. The mechanic had a number of ideas, but, ultimately, I was going to have to get the car back to him. This would be an ordeal because, well, the car would not start. One of my first purchases when I brought the car home was the Haynes manual for the MGB. I used to always get a Haynes manual when I owned cars in the 80's. You could still fix most problems without a lift and special equipment then. The Haynes manual arrived in the morning. I read the chapter on starter motors and had the car running in about 2 hours. The manual walked me through the steps to diagnose the problem and, once I knew what it was, how to repair it. Fortunately, this was a relatively easy fix. But I'd still be tearing my hair out trying to diagnose the problem with YouTube videos and random suggestions from people with "helpful" suggestions involving crystals and checking tire pressure without a well-written and serious manual Haynes wrote.

A par for the course Haynes, my bike is a 21 pure but from what I see the torque values and components descriptions are relevant. I try to keep a Haynes on every vehicle I own or have owned. This will have suffice since there is not a manual available for the 21 R9T.

Keep the Haynes manual stashed in the boot/trunk of your MG - and let your mechanic know it's there. Odds are a few fresh fingerprints will be scattered among the pages after each servicing. British specialty shops have become far less common than they were a generation ago. Today, it's increasingly likely your MG was born before your mechanic was. If there's something the mechanic needs to check, best to have them go to THE SOURCE. And for those DIY jobs, the Haynes MGB Automotive Repair Manual eliminates the guesswork when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. As with all Haynes manuals, the information is clearly and logically presented. With its step by step approach, the Haynes reference has given many neophyte MG owners the confidence to successfully tackle even the most intimidating jobs. And when you consider the book's price would barely cover 20 minutes of shop labor, the manual becomes a no-brainer.

I've used Haynes books for many years. Kept one always in my '69 MGB. Very detailed and comprehensive, but of course no book can cover everything. A must have for any home garage mechanic!

excellent

For a "used" book, it is in excellent condition. Shipping was very quick, and the packaging was very adequate. I am quIte satisfied with the transaction. What's not to like ? jlc 12/27/20

Explains everything in detail, with color coded pictures

A useful reference and how-to repair manual. Haynes manuals have always been helpful for me in the past. The downside is that it is a cheap reprint. The paper is thin un-coated newspaper type paper. As a result the photos aren't really clear, but the line drawings are sharp. I'm sure that when used while working on the car, the paper will absorb grease and stains like a sponge. I would not call this a "go-to manual" but useful in conjunction with a factory manual and internet research.

Jo, das ist es. Wirklich viele gute Tipps und Anregungen. Leider nur auf englisch, aber es hilft trotzdem. Viele Bilder und relativ einfacher Text. Schulenglisch reicht aus. Kann ich wirklich empfehlen.

Para los que acostumbramos tener todo impreso, es el típico manual que requerimos. Misma edición de hace muchos años, quizás sería conveniente que el editor la actualizara, pero tratandose de autos en desuso es posible que no haya interés. Gracias, obtuve lo que pagué.

Perfect for my restoration project. This used manual is in Good condition and much cheaper than a new one

very pleased

Para gente que posean un vehículo como éste el libro es genial .un 10
