Default Do you have a workshop manual

Just wondering if people still buy workshop manuals for their cars.

I always had a Haynes manual for every car I've owned but I haven't bothered for my A3. I might one day but I seem to be getting by without one. Perhaps it is because it is so reliable and I rarely if ever have to fix anything?

One for the bora. like georges says good reading but no room in the bay to do much practise.

Had one for the civic and it was well used, left it in the boot when it went away

You can't beat a printed manual sitting on the air filter when you are working on the car. Running inside for the Ebook isn't the same and printed pages blow around too much!
