Haynes 5565 Workshop Manual

We own two of these MX5s - a 1.8 Sport and a limited edition 1.6 Icon. They are technically almost identical cars. This book covers pretty much everything for the MX5, from basic DIY maintenance to major part replacement and repair. There are some sensibly marked no-go areas, such as servicing the air conditioning unit, and the electrical wiring diagrams are a huge advance on some of the rubbish diagrams of old. The index is a bit lacking, but most Haynes manuals seem to be a bit lacking there.My biggest complaint about the manual is a rubbish print quality. The paper is really bad quality that looks like it's made from recycled newsprint or something. The binding is softback, which is no good when the book is being chucked about in a garage - the floppy paper cover gets ruined very quickly, as do inevitably all the pages inside. Not good.Anyone who owns a mark 2 MX5 knows their faults. Rusty wheel arches are a well-known nightmare, as are the magically self-blocking and rusting drains under the soft roof (flooded car interior, anyone?). This book got me through fixing a busted main spring, and resolving moisture in the clutch, but it was a bit useless when it came to replacing soundproofing under the carpet. Even so, if you've got a mark 2, it will need a fair bit of TLC to keep it in good condition, and some repairs you might run into can be pricey. If you are prepared to get stuck in with the maintenance of these vehicles, then this is an immensely useful (if slightly lacking here and there) book to have around.

a good manual for the owner who wants to attempt some repairs . each task is give a spanner rating identifying the ease of the task 1 is easy 5 means you need to be very mechanic minded and skilled. although not a definite workshop manual it does provide a very useful reference for work on yr mk 2 or mk2.5 mx5. make sure you always keep it in the car. I think having spoken to others if you are doing a renovation on a mx5 also consider the other manual available . not this haynes book. I would always recommend joing the mx5 owner club for guidance on repairs and renovation. just google mx5oc...

Great product excellent value

Used this a few times to fix the car. Some steps are a bit confusing as you need to separate your model's instructions from other models but that's just how it is. Everything stated was true so 5/5

From first scan, the book would appear to be quite comprehensive and certainly was a great assistance to my front and rear brake calliper overhaul and pad replacement. Fired me up with enthusiasm to remove the front suspension next summer for wishbone sand- blast and powder coating. Why didn't Mazda put a decent coat of zinc/paint on these parts when new? Especially as the rest of the car is so well finished.

As with any Haynes manual, absolutely brilliant.

Manual arrived very quickly(didn't order it until Friday before Xmas and it was with me on following Tuesday). Excellent quality and well packaged for delivery. Recipient of the present currently using it to fix a problem and proving very useful.

If I could have given no stars as a rating I would have. Really not worth the money. Paperback - not hardcover so won’t last long. Poor quality paper, photographs and only very basic information. Ok for simple jobs but wouldn’t want to use it as a reference book for anything major. Wiring diagrams! - enough said. You can find better ones on the net. Wouldn’t recommend buying.

super !

Verstand nach Nederland dauerte 4 Wochen. Kann vielleicht schneller. Aber bin froh mit dem Buch meine MX5 jetzt richting versorgen zu können.

Manuale perfetto per la scelta, la manutenzione e la cura della MX-5, consigliato a tutti gli appassionati di questa auto.

Hervorragen Beschrieben und Bebildert, also typisch Haynes.Leider auf Englisch, aber so lernt man auch noch Fachenglisch beim Reparieren dazu.Farbfotografien währen manchmal Wünschens wert!Seitenpapier wirkt wie dickeres Zeitungspapier.

faut connaitre l'anglais mais c'est bien expliqué avec beaucoup de croquis et de photo.pour les passionnés de mimix et de mécanique.
