Haynes manual? Models of clarity. When i was 20 I bought a worn out Lotus Elan, with no tools, money or knowledge, and needing it running every morning it was a daft thing to do. I did lash out and buy the Lotus workshop manual for it. Step 1 on changing the water pump I recall was "remove cylinder heard and sump"

I think my worst experience of Haynes manual was when I was 17 and helping a mate rebuild his Fantic moped engine. We removed a circlip in the transmission, and everything kind of flew out across the shed as the clip was holding some spring loaded components in.. we didn’t have many bits left over when we put it back together
