Anyone know where I can get a cheap Haynes manual for a Nissan Micra 2003-2007 (52 - 57)?

They are going on the Amazon marketplace for about £18.

I saw that John, on ebay too for £17 .. but both are three or four days delivery and I can pick one off the shelf from Halfords for £20. I just didn't want to fork out a score for the one or two wee jobs I've got to do.
Cheers anyway.

Going by the nick of the car I've been asked to look at that may be the best deal the lassie I'm looking for gets all year.

You can find PDF copies for many of the Haynes manuals if you look in the right sort of places. I am guessing you already tried this though.

Public libraries? I'm sure I've seen what look like Haynes Manuals in the Mitchell but it might have been the 'user's guide to the human body' sorta stuff.

I'd have a word with one of the Owner's Clubs. See if there's someone prepared to be on the end of the phone to give technical advice while you're working on the car.

I've checked here

and found these

Cheers for the help Guys .. Mitchell did indeed have them but as you can't sign books out (which in the case of Haynes manuals is probably a good idea, oily thumb prints on a reference tome is never going to go down well) but I just had a bash anyway .. turns out the jobs were straightforward as it's not a particularly complex vehicle to work on.
All done and dusted.
Thanks again.
