Ok, Since owning any car since I was 17, I\'ve bought the haynes manuals.
For the MR2 mk2 there wasn\'t one produced, so I\'ve had to buy the Toyota Workshop manuals for the car, but what a great buy they are!

They have enabled me to fix a few problems on my car, do modifications including a rev 3 Turbo Conversion, and help many others on these forums, by quoting Toyota Mechanic text in solving problems.

They are a great buy, a complete set can be had for less than a tank of fuel, making them a great bargain.

They are far better than haynes manuals, and go into detail for the toyota technician, that the lightest home mechanic could understand, For example for the testing of a Oxy/lambda sensor, there is a easy to follow flowchart detailing testing with a standard multimeter. The same for MAP sensor, Boost problems, TPS problems, etc etc etc, every engine sensor, every chassis or electrical problem.

Think of the money you could save yourself, and infomation you could gain!

They come in quite big books, very easy to understand and follow.

In buying them I\'ve been told some porky\'s like \'They\'re only available to Toyota\' or \'I\'m not allowed to sell them to the public\' - Which is a load of rubbish, just move on to the next Toyota dealer.
(The ones in Bedford or Attleborough, Norfolk. seem to have no problems selling them)

Go to your local Toyota parts desk and ask for:
