Haynes Manuel?

I just bought a new shape Yaris….

Does anyone know where I can get a Haynes Manuel for this car? As I've been told it's not released yet, is this true???

Also, are these manuels any good for beginners??? :confused:


Many Thanks

    They do a yaris manual for up to a 2005 model, probably 99% is the same as the latest models. Most libraries loan out Haynes manuals so it may be worth borrowing one first?
    They are a good starting point for beginners.
  • A brand new one?

    What do you want to do to it?! If anything breaks it has a warranty, tinkering with it yourself will most probably void that.

    Although it probably is useful if a bulb goes ;)

    I don't usually bother getting a Haynes manual till it's near the end of it's warranty.

    Service it?

    I've always serviced my own cars from brand new - no way I'd pay a dealer £180 to change the oil and kick the tyres!

    No reason why servicing a car yourself with correct parts and oil should invalidate the warranty.

    Trouble is, whenever a new model comes out it's usually a good 3-4 years until Haynes bring out a manual for it.
