They are a hit or miss affair. In general the manuals are nice in that they at least show you where to look for stuff and how to get to it. Also handy in figuring out how big any job really is before you tackle it. When they get it wrong it is quite frustrating though.
As an example I re-did a timing belt 8, yes 8 times in one day 'cause I followed Haynes and couldn't get the car to start. I only later decided to do it my (the old fashioned) way and only then discovered the book was wrong. ..
On the other hand they have been spot on with regards to both my Volvo and my wife's Mini.
