Title: Haynes Manual pre F/L
Post by: splott on 16 March 2010, 16:25:25
Are the majority of parts and ancillaries shown in the Haynes manual for the pre facelift in the same place as the facelift.  :-/
Reason, I have a pre F/L manual :(

Yep, as there never was a Haynes F/L manual.  The 94-99 edition is the only one available. ;)

Thanks Liz, its just that I have sort out a few things on my Miggy. I needed to know if things like sensors etc. were in the positions described in the manual :y :y

The truth is Splott a lot of us on here only use the Haynes "book of lies" as a rough reference guide when working on our miggys.  It is far better to use the guides on this Forum, and your own experience.  Failing that ask away on Omega General Help etc! :D :D :D ;) ;)

I do use the OOF for " How To Do" but I was looking for the level sensor on the front wishbone, couldn't find it. Mind you, I did have the cat sat on on my chest and the dog licking my face whilst I was scabbling under the car. Didn't help!!

Ah yes, the one on my f/l 2.5 CDX (when I had it) had that sensor easily accessible if you jacked the front near side of the car up and remove the wheel. It will be in front of you ;) ;)

If you didn't know already, it looks like this:

PS Some members have found this behind the rear wheel apparently, but mine was here. ;) ;)

I was trying to locate it ready for tomorrow, didn't jack it up as it was just a cursory look. I need to clean the ABS sensors aswell :y

PFL Haynes is still good for FL cars, even more so those using 2.0/2.5/3.0 engines.  Major differences are the internal trim.

As I said to Liz, it was only to locate sensors etc. :y
